Hello Everyone, I'm Ryan. My brothers and I have always enjoyed walking the beaches for sharks teeth where we live, but have been getting into fossil hunting a lot more lately, and I seem to always find myself here whenever I'm scouting for new spots, or trying to get an ID on a find, and figured it was about time I signed up. I'm from North Florida but am currently living in Orlando, which puts me closer to many places like the Peace river which I'm stoked to check out. Attached are some finds from the other day in Jacksonville (ignore the necklace lol it was so my brother had a size comparison). If you know of any spots to hunt near the Orlando area let me know! Thank y'all for reading and I'm glad to be here, Have great days!

Afternoon, Was looking through some drill cuttings from the Oldsmar formation ~2600 feet bls and am wondering if the majority of these are similar to Ranikothalia from looking through some papers from Yucatan. These are all Eocene in age; any help would be appreciated and I will add more images as we bring in more cuttings. The more spherical images are from higher up around ~2100 in the glauconite layer. Sorry for low quality it's a cheap microscope. Thanks, Ekker

I recently acquired a large collection of fossils at an estate auction in Florida. About half were identified but the rest weren’t. Most identified fossils were labeled with a location in Florida but not all. I think this is a fossil of brain coral but the cylinder shape and knob at one end have me me perplexed. Can anyone help?

Hello and Happy New Year from Miami! I found an interesting rock on the beach a little while back and I can't seem to determine what it is. Since it was found at Miami Beach, it should be Pleistocene Miami Limestone. The specimen is about 3 inches in length. It looks quite similar to an image I found online of a seal humerus: Thank you :)

Ok I was lucky to find these shark teeth in St Augustine last week. But help with identification please. My guesses are Mako top left followed by Sand Tiger and lastly a small Great White? Or could that be an extinct Mako? Thanks for your help.

S. griffini has a smaller length to width ratio than S. problematica (MR 2057-121) however Petuch has named a large number of Cypraeidae from the Florida Plio-Pleistocene many of which are probably not valid. A variance plot of many individuals would need to be produced to unequivocally determine if S. griffini is a distinct species. Reference Petuch, Edward J. 1994. Atlas of Florida Fossil Shells (Pliocene and Pleistocene Marine Gastropods). Chicago Spectrum Press.
