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.

Me and my good friends take a weekly sojourn on the peace, away from crowds. Last weekend I made the mistake of letting my buddy dig my hole with me, first shovel full, sitting right on top was a big fat chub tooth. Never the less, it was paid forward to me. 1) Posterior Meg's 2) Typical Peace river Fragladons 3) Lone Sand Tiger 4) Pathological Bull 5) Random Reptilian vertebrae 6) Chunky lemons and Bulls 7) Honker of a horse tooth 8) Fat tigers 9) Upper and lower Snaggletooth

Fossil identification help please! Peace River Formation Venice, FL area
Newbie77 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello fellow paleontology buffs! I have recently returned from a trip to the Venice area where I did some surface/ beach sifting for fossils. I need to get out and dive there next time. I would love to have some help identifying fossils that are tripping me up. I recognize that there are a LOT of them. Sorry!!! I organized them on to a PDF because there were a lot to look at, but please let me know if it does not open up and I will upload them as images instead. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.- 44 replies

I about to apply for a fossil permit and I understand all aspects except submitting vertebrae fossil? What are the steps and when would I submit these fossils? Also what do I fill out to submit them? Thanks!

Hi! I recently found a lot of various items in Peace River in Florida. There are a few of them that I wanted to find help with, so I attached them below and numbered each of them so the pictures would be less confusing. I wasn’t sure if this would be easier than creating separate threads, but if it would be better to split them up I can do so. The first specimen is the main item I would like help identifying. I believe it’s a body of vertebrae but I was hoping to find out what animal it could be from. If there are too many in one, I am content in receiving the identification for the first item alone. All measurements are in centimeters but inches is on the bottom of the ruler. I’m very new to all of this so your help and kindness is greatly appreciated!

I am new to this forum so I apologize if this post is incorrect in anyway. We found some new bones we are unfamiliar with in the Peace River in Arcadia, Florida we’d like some input on. The first bone has a weight of 1,028 grams and the second bone has a weight of 203 grams to give a complete picture of their sizes. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for looking!

Hi all, I found this as a child on a vacation years ago, not entirely sure where it came from but I grew up in Atlanta and most of our vacations were in Florida or along the east coast, this was found most likely in Florida or along the Georgia Barrier Islands, but it could be from as far north as Hilton Head Beach in South Carolina. Anyone have any idea if this is a fossil coral, or just a regular piece of coral that is well-weathered? What species might this be? Thanks all.
