Howdy all. First post but long time lurker. Need a little help with an ID. The fossil was found in Central Florida while sifting for shark teeth. The river has exposures from the Miocene epoch, at times I think older, and have found all manners of shark teeth with occasional mammal and reptile fossils showing up (deer teeth, snake ribs, alligator teeth and others). However, this little sucker stumps me. A small part of me believes it is a type of coral, but I am literally lost on where to begin with its identification. For orientation I call the "bumpy" side the top and the "ring" side the bottom. If more photos or details are need please ask. Thank you all in advance. Top (Bumpy): Bottom (Rings):

A friend and I went out on the Peace River yesterday. The river is the lowest I've seen...32" below normal, so much of the bank was exposed. In the area we were hunting, I decided to check out the mudstone bank...located between layers of limestone, and in separating a layer, I came the smaller impressions below. It looks so plant like to me: reminds me of the edges of hydrilla, but am so unsure what it could be. I included a close up so the finely tapered ends would show, as well as the somewhat ovoid edge impressions. I was excited, but I also know looks are deceiving. ( when I was first looking for fossils, I found a complete miniature leopard impression in a rock shown below) ...lol. but now, while I am beyond that, I am still a sucker for my eyes and mind want to be there. At any rate, I did check geology of the area, and we were in the Hawthorn group, probably , Arcadia formation, which does apparently contain mudstone, and plant fossils. Anyone care to hazard a guess, or perhaps you know for sure what the impressions are. So as to not waste anyone's time, I am trying to treat you with a couple of nice glyptodont pieces I found. My best pieces of the day, though my friend found a gorgeous unbroken 6"vertebra from something he has yet to identify. Sorry I don't have an image of that. Btw, the day was beautiful, water was crystal clear, and I got a workout dragging my kayak.
