I ran across these in a thrift store for a hot buck, so I grabbed them up. It's five sand dollars. One is a little different the others. Are any of these fossil? They seem very clean to be fossil, so I suspect they are modern. Can anyone confirm? Thanks! Edit : the backs are very clean like the fronts.

Partial Tooth? Is it enough to be identified? Peace River, FL.
Bone Daddy posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this in the Peace River and I think it is a partial tooth. I am not sure. It appears to have black "enamel", but it's broken and it might just be a suggestive shape of detritus. Does this look like something specific? It looks like a mammal tooth to me. Thanks in advance!

Need some help with these, but I think I know the answer already
Bone Daddy posted a topic in Fossil ID
I had two oddballs here. I don't think either can be authoritatively identified due to their incomplete nature and my chronically-subpar photos. But, I figured if anyone could ID them, that person is in this forum somewhere. So please have a look and let me know what you think. One appears to be part of a skull and the other is a tiny piece of jawbone. I thought the jaw was a shark tooth at first and then I noticed the teeth sockets. Maybe it's something small like a rat or pocket gopher? Any help would be appreciated.

I found this big bone chunk, but I am afraid it may lack sufficient diagnostic features to identify it. I thought I would let the forum look at it before I throw it into my garden. Any ideas about what this might be? It looks like a partial "end" piece of a larger bone. Judging from the size, the critter had to be pretty big. Any help would be appreciated.

I had a short trip down to a nearby creek yesterday, and though I was only there for about an hour and a half, it had to be one of my best (creek) trips this year! We retrieved our first complete meg from this creek along with two beautiful great whites.We got some very nice sand tiger teeth. We got a nice little horse tooth. And what gets me most excited is my first piece of ivory.Heres all of the days finds.

Could not identify these little pieces myself. Obviously 1 is more of a weird type of rock formation, but I was wondering if anyone knew why it looked like it was made of all those little capsules. 2 is most interesting to me, I honestly have no idea. 3 seems to maybe be a pieces of sediment that got something pressed into it and it hardened as a print? Not sure.

Hello, I was fossil hunting a creek in north Florida yesterday and along with finding what I believe is our first meg out of this creek, we found a strange tooth that I believe is bovine or camel. (This is in inches, I couldn't find my tape measure- 1 inch~2 1/2 cm)

I'll be on the river today and the rest of the weekend south of 760 (Nocatee) . If you see me stop and say hi! We'll be staying on our property mostly but can travel if needed.

Hi, My son found this while wading calf deep at the beach on Friday. It was buried in the sand except for the point sticking up. He dug it out. He thought maybe some mammal vertebra? He's 15 and been collecting fossils since he was 3, and was EXTREMELY excited. Hoping someone may know something or even if it is a fossil. Location: Ponte Vedra Beach, FL St. Johns County found June 3, 2022

One way to know you have a great fossil hunting site is that every time you go you get something that you have no clue what it could be. Today we went to our best creek for mammal fossils and had a great day. We got multiple known fossils, like horse, gator, and gar, but also many we did not recognize. On the first fossil, the texture reminds me of a gator osteoderm, so I was thinking some kind of gator bone. The second I think is a section of gator jaw, because of shape and texture. The 3rd I'm following the theme of gator and going with gator vert. The fourth has a bubbly texture, but I'm not sure what it is. The two after that the pictures got shuffled. they both look like they could be tusk of some sort. The fossil after those is vert of some sort but I'm not sure what type. Then there's a weird bone end. After that there's a tooth that looks like it came from a predator, but it looks more rounded than pointy. Then the fossil after that may not be a tooth but better safe than sorry. After that it may be Manatee (do they have 4 roots) sorry that this message was a bit chaotic, there were a lot of fossils to cover.

Today we went to a great spot we don't go often. The first 50 minutes were great, then it started raining,I can't imagine what I would have found if I got to stay a good 3 hours. We got two gator osteoderms, including the smallest one I've ever seen (below the large one) some gator teeth. Multiple mammal teeth (follow link below message to get to the ID message) horse frags, gar scales, turtle shell, and other weird fossils. Again, please go to the ID chat just to check if you can help.

Today we went to a spot that we don't go often, it started raining about 50 minutes in (we should have checked the weather) but we got quite a few fossils including these unidentified ones (sorry about the picture quality on some of them) the first I believe is a gator tooth with root, the second set, I have no idea about, the 3rd might be dugong, the forth and 5th I think are deer, the sixth I think is tapir, the seventh Is some sort of rodent and the last I believe is a snake vert.

Today we took a trip down to a dredge and had probably our second best trip, we came out with quite a few fossils that we could not identify, I was wondering if anyone could help? Ones a vert from a large fish, probably a drum, but I was wondering if someone could clarify that. Another is a bone that looks nearly complete, probably from a whale, but I am not certain and it looks distinct, and I was hoping someone would know the specifics. Also we got a price of what I am pretty sure is turtle plastron and a gator vert. And the best find was some sort of canine. I'm not sure what it is, I do not believe its whale but the tooth looks to short to be canine or feline, but I could be wrong.

Hello everyone. I just found out about these forums and so trying my luck on a couple mystery pieces that I have. I'm really excited to participate on the forum as we have been hunting for a year and have been on both US coasts, Sharktooth Hill and have had some great finds along the way. Fossil (pictures of the black piece) - My Fiancée found this in Venice, FL a few weeks ago. It is clearly bone based on the side view. The "bottom" side is flat with a couple of "scratches in it". The other side is very clearly ridged with 6 protruding parallel ridges. This piece was broken off on both sides, so I don't know if it had more ridges as a complete piece. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cartilage (pictures of the white piece) - (size of a nickel) This is not a fossil and my guess is part of a crab or something similar, but I've been unable to find a graphic to confirm it. It does have small ridges along the top of the "V" and it is not a symmetrical piece. My guess is this is something that many have seen before and someone will recognize it. Thank you in advance for the help and support. Derek and Sarah

Fossil recovered inland Venice, FL. Located in Pleistocene material while digging pond. Equus, Camel, Tortoise, Alligator, and Whale teeth have been found in this material. This is the first time I have recovered this type of tooth. Other whale teeth I found nearby are 2x as long and 5x wider. Looking for some help with this ID. Thank you in advance. -Michael

I found this tooth wile hunting for sharks teeth. Im not even sure if this is a fossil to be honest, it could be modern. Anyone know what it is?

Unknown long bone. Found in Pleistocene material. Inland, Venice, Florida. Specimen measures 62mm wide x 46mm. Canal in pic: L5 is 13mm wide. I have found Equus teeth in same location. Overall length of this hollowed bone is 123mm to break. I could not find an image for the joint surface to compare. I recovered the Equus tooth (EQ_L7) in the same location. It is a M2, left (upper molar). Thank you for your ID assistance. -Regards, Michael

Inland Venice, FL tooth recovery. Pleistocene material. Found an Equus tooth approx. 15 feet from this on recently excavated, permission granted property. I think it is a camelid tooth x 2. Can't find a close match online, gallery, or textbook. The two teeth together are 27mm wide. This is the first time I have found teeth attached to a jaw fragment. ID assistance appreciated. Looking forward to numerous fossil recoveries after storm passes by my home on Tuesday. -Regards, Michael

My second time out to the Peace River, what a glorious peace of land. The air temp was mid 80s, dew points in the low 60s and water temp was perfect. My wife of 37 years accompanied me this trip, and yep, she found a complete Meg. Not huge, but near perfect. and one photo of the gulf, where we spent 4 fabulous nights last week .

Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster haha. I’m still kind of new to this so sorry if this is a super obvious ID, but I was wondering what kind of tooth this is exactly. I was thinking crocodile, but it seems to have a slightly different shape so I wasn’t sure. I found it at Ginnie Sprints in High Springs on the Santa Fe River in Florida. It’s about 2 1/4” long. Thank you in advance for your help!

I found my first whale tooth yesterday. Only found two cores previously. Located inland Venice, FL. This example was sheared in half longitudinally. Measures 85mm long, 48mm at widest point, 27mm diameter at point D. I find mostly Pleistocene material in this inland location. I read about only specific identifications are to the Superfamily- Physeteroidea. Anybody have other input on this tooth? My questions usually are "time period of fossil, better identification". In this inland area, I have found a half dozen bulla, a baleen whale vertebrae, and what I think is a rib. I appreciate if anyone can give me some more info on this tooth. @Boesse @Shellseeker -Regards Michael

Greetings from Venice, FL. After viewing a recent post, I am interested if anyone can identify my recovery from Pleistocene material. I believe it is the distal end of a humerus. It was crushed by a tractor. Photo A shows the distal end. The dimensions on Photo A is 5cm wide. Height is 4cm. Photo B is anterior view. It would be great if anyone could identify what animal it may have come from. Thanks in advance. -Michael

Found this at the Peace river in FL. I am convinced it is a rock while my dad thinks it is a fossil because he has seen it before. I think my old man is crazy. Someone please end this debate with a definite answer haha
