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

Greetings from Inland Venice, FL. Unusual fossil find for me. Pleistocene material. My first thought was Dugong when I picked it up, and fit great into my hand. I have found hundreds of Dugong ribs in the last year at my location. This is an unusual one due to the smooth texture. It measures 4.5 inches long by 2 inches wide. Density is 2.51 g/cm3 if you are interested. Photo labeled "4" shows odd texture. Closeup attached. FYI: Indian artifacts confirmed to 10,000 B.C. recovered within 10 miles. I have not previously recovered any Indian artifacts. I'm looking for feedback. Thanks in advance friends. -Michael

Greetings from Inland Venice, FL. Pleistocene material. This is an unusual fossil find for me. It measures 6 inches long by 3 inches wide. It is 3.8 inches in height. Two different sides are flat. Photo A: overall image. Multiple images show worn black fossils embedded in relatively smoothed, compacted silica. This item was recovered from sand/clay, calcium carbonate material in hole approx. 10 feet deep. There were no other specimens with this type of composition recovered. FYI: Indian artifacts confirmed to 10,000 B.C. recovered within 10 miles. I have not previously recovered any Indian artifacts. I do not think this would be an implement/ancient tool. I'm looking for feedback. Thanks in advance friends.

Supersized Tilly Bone? Looks like a Large Gummy Bear. Do you agree on the fossil? Not dense at all. Looks like a sample I have collected already...but this one is very large. 7 cm long, 4.2 cm wide This is a good reference piece. -Michael

Unusual Shark tooth. Inland, Venice, FL. Pleistocene material is common. Heavy serrations both sides. Bulbous protrusion. Shaped like a lower tooth but serrations on both sides. Tooth is 31mm long and 20mm wide. Is this an odd shaped Hemi upper or from a different species. -Regards, Michael

Found some sort of tooth or fossil. Not sure what it is. Kinda look like a porpoise tooth but not sure. Found in fl. Anyone know what it is?

These two pieces came out of a dump truck with older Pleistocene material in Venice, FL. Found 5 Lightning Whelk shells in this load. Large piece of shiny osteoderm has other bones in the matrix. I have not found this type of piece before. ID welcomed. - Michael

Anyone know what type of tooth this is? I am thinking dugong but not sure. Found near a phosphate mine in FL.

Found this fossil inland, Venice, FL. Early Pleistocene material. I believe this is perhaps tortoise shell showing spinal attachment point to vertebrae. Piece. Measures 17cm x 13cm x 5cm thick. All photos taken at 1x. I look forward to reading your remarks. - Michael

Inland Venice, FL. First guess was Meg. Many others found in 100 yards of this one. Someone suggested : Carcharocles chubutensis most fossils are Pleistocene in the area. The angle of the tooth is not like most megs I find here. Advice welcomed. - Michael

Found a new type of fossil from my dig site. East Venice, FL. Pleistocene material in area. Fossil is 26 mm long and 13 mm in diameter. Appears to have enamel on outside. Fossil ID appreciated. Regards, Michael

I recently purchased a bag of micro gravel from Florida that had larger Pleistocene fossils added to it. Among the added Pleistocene fossils was this mandible. My guess is that it is skunk (Mephitis)? As you can see it measures about 3 cm in length. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi. Was looking through pictures of some teeth I have and the tooth on the right stuck out to me. The tooth is about a half an inch. I thought this was a bull shark but all the other bull shark teeth I have does not have the bourlette like this one has. That is why I am wondering if I miss ID this one. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Little Help? Came from the Peace River north of Arcadia. Water level very low, was able to pick this up literally off the bottom while walking thru the shallow water.

What say you about this bone ? Sorry but just found in my collection so I do not know if I found it in MS or FL but it was years ago. My end photos were not very clear..(I hate the phone I have...) Hope someone knows...because this site sure has great smart people! Be blessed, stay safe, practice Social distancing Deb (White Feather)

I posted a short trip report, and included this vertebra which i can't id. It is almost perfect. I put it to a flame test because I thought perhaps it was recent, but no smell whatsoever. It is about 1"wide from wing to wing, and also about the same from the bottom to the tip of the top flange. I fell in love with it as I pulled it out of the chalky white clay from the bottom of the stream where I was screening for shark's teeth. Thanks for the help.

Here is nice little fossilized phalange bone that I found in Florida's Peace River. Like verts, almost all phalanges look alike to me, except for size differences. I'm having a hard time ID'ing this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi. These three where found in St. Pete’s Florida on the beach. Is it possible the first one in top is a small great white? The serrations on both sides is causing me to think that. The middle tooth I think is hammerhead? based on the research I did. The bottom tooth I believe is sandbar based on how thin the root is and the length of the blade? Any feedback would be much appreciated. I’m still trying my best to ID these as accurately as possible. Thank you in advance!

This nice little tooth turned up in the sifter on the Peace River in Florida. I think it's a deer tooth, but I'm not sure because it looks a little small. Could it be something else? The cube is one square centimeter.

I have been using this website to help educate myself and identify theses teeth. I believe all teeth on the right of the penny are the sameness; Lemon Shark. I also believe that all the teeth are the same to the left of the penny. My initial thought was Copper Shark. After going through this website I was thinking Thresher Shark. Any help or confirmation with thes would be much appreciated. This is the link https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/discover-fish/sharks/fossil/shark-tooth-id-guide/#q23

If I had to guess on some of these the top 2 on the left are lemon, far right is a hemi, and bottom left is a hammerhead not sure about that or any of the others any help would be much appreciated

Hi. Can anyone pony me in the direction on what type of shark teeth these are. That seem to be all the same type. Thanks for any feedback. Mark

Hi. Me again. I feel like I post something everyday asking for help. I really have learned so much from everyone here the past month. So a big thank you. So I believe based on research and past post that the first group of teeth are bull shark because the location of the nutrient pore on the lingual side is below the bulge in the root. The second picture I believe is also carcharhinus but not bull because instead of a nutrient pore on the lingual side there is a transverse groove. So that leads me to the question what type of carcharhinus has a transverse groove? I hope on the right path in my thinking. Boy I hope so or this post will be embarrassing. Haha. Thank as always for any feedback! Mark
