My friend Dave is a snowbird == returns to a northern State 1st week of May. He is anxious for a few last hunting days until November. We were out today to a spot that has numerous small shark teeth and occasional interesting finds. I forgot to bring a sieve... For the 1st 3 hours, doing 10 sieves an hour. I pretty much was getting skunked. Relatively few shark teeth and 1 occasional. I do like little dolphin teeth. I think I'll be able to ID this one... Then things picked up.... Twice as many small shark teeth, and more than a few occasional. That's an Equus Earbone middle right.. and about 1/2 of a sloth carpal upper left... But there is one find on this layout that I am REALLY pleased to have if it turns out to be what I think it is... I even like it if it does not turn out to be a Peccary premolar. APL 23 x W 17 x CH 32 mm This one made my trip. Enjoy

So to piggy back on my ID post, I did a door knock and got permission to dig in a creek on an expansive cattle farm, this was a trip just to scope out the lay of the creek using my 👀 and it totally didn't disappoint. Deer Pedicle Tooth/Frag of unknown origin Fish Vert perhaps? Creek worn Horse tooth Holmesina scutes? Broken posterior meg Honker of a puffer plate

This little shell is the size of a pencil eraser. It came out of a larger fossil shell I found. Best photos I could get so far.

Hi there! I am not sure, but my research so far has led me to believe this may be a coprolite, perhaps from a turtle, but I am not sure. Any help identifying would be greatly appreciated. I’m also very interested in what the blue crystals are. It was found in Florida in a parking lot, so I’m sure it was not initially from there. Whenever the Gulf coast is dredged, they haul it to a place called Fort drum in the middle of the state. A really cool, retired vet runs the place and I have mined for calcite crystals there with my girlfriend and his guidance. It is a lot of work but a lot of fun and we found a bunch. Perhaps this has come from the ocean, and somehow wound up here I am not sure. Look forward to your responses! Thanks so much.

Found this tooth near the peace river it looks like a hastalis tooth but the root is very wide and its much more girther than any other hastalis tooth ive ever found. One of my friends told me it could be a transitional fossil but I was hoping for more opinions on it.
