I found this while diving in Rainbow River, Florida. I have been trying to figure out what it came from for several years. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! new here. I am trying to learn the ropes and have a couple spots. one is a contruction site down in Venice and the other is in up North in Terra Ceia One question is the fossil layer in Manatee County, Bradenton and LWR areas shallow enough for the pits and lakes to get dug to it? i found a place in Terra Ceia that has large chunks of fossil on the beach. Dugong ribs in the mangroves, so far a few broken hemis and small teeth, a tapir tooth and unknown mammal tooth and horse teeth. i assume, possibly wrong, the fossils are being washed in from the shallow h

I have a couple places I have been searching. One in a Mangrove Forest, the others in Construction yards. I am finding some nicely colored Sharks teeth, and one was so encrusted with junk it took hours with several types of sand paper to polish. The very dark brown complete one on the bottom left. It is really a beautiful tooth, but I need to polish it further to get the Enamel a bit less opaque. Any methods for polishing by hand? There are other assorted pieces as well, some nice small black teeth from construction sites, the brown and orange are from the Tannins in the M

Last August, I found a broken bone. The unbroken part reminded me of a Rhino astragalus. I posted a Fossil_ID thread but not much feedback, The following week I did some internet searching for fossil astragali... and found this one for sale by @PrehistoricFlorida. I thought that I found an ID match !!! This Capybara astragalus has many characteristics of Rhino , also Cutting to the chase, a member PMed me on some of my Capybara finds Friday and I started searching the internet . I found another fossil on @prehistoricflorida 's website.. This

Order Neogastropoda Family Turbinellidae Turbinella streami Petuch, 1991 Stratigraphy: Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation. Location: SMR Phase 7, Sarasota County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: This species has a shorter spire and more inflated body whorl than T. regina. Quite a bit of variation between T. regina and T. streami exists within the Sarasota area, however I have not seen the same degree of variation within Caloosahatchee specimens of T. regina. -

The genus is overly split and many of the numerous named species from the Tamiami might be variant of this .-

Hi Everyone, I've had this shark tooth fossil for 17+ years now and I would love to know which species it's from. I got it from an American relative who said their dad found it on a beach (I'm pretty sure in Florida). If you think further up close pics are necessary I'm happy to provide that. Thanks for your help in advance Shane

When the Peace River is too deep, I sometimes try land hunting and fortunately I have very good fossil friends who make me smile when I see them AND who have the skills. My son and I got together on New Years day and had a great time sloshing in the mud and making a memory. The mud turns to concrete when it dries on equipment and boots and it took more than a few hours to get cleaned up. A couple of nice finds , one to try and ID. The 1st is a nice little Meg that I sent on to my grandson in Texas. Liked the Olive drab color in the sunshine. The 2nd is a small do

I recently purchased a sharks tooth from florida. I believe it is from the miocene epoch. Although it doesn't look like it in the picture, it has cerrated edges. (don't mind my bad camera)

So was digging through my box of horse teeth frags, and came across these 2 teeth that are quite worn/damaged but still complete enough to (possibly) see the pattern on. So @fossillarry when you get the chance… First one - apl is 16mm, top to bottom of chewing surface is 17.3mm. Second one - apl of 14mm, atw of 8.7mm. First I can’t remember where I found it… probably the peace. Second was found in the spoils pile in front of the Mulberry Phosphate Museum. thanks in advance!

I found both of these during the last year between Fort Pierce and Jensen Beach. I was hoping someone could help narrow down what I’ve got here. I think the small one might be a phalanx or caudal vertebrae from a dog. I think the broken one may be about 3/4 of a metapoidal from a tapir. It would be nice to get some feedback from someone about what you think.
