A day with interesting finds. The water level has dropped from Friday, but the current is faster. Still Pea Soup. The Peace river is noted for being a mix of Miocene to Modern...on some days more then others. Out primary shark tooth finds were Hemipristis and G. mayumbrensis, both Miocene species. Have found Dugong verts, Rhino teeth fragments, small horse fragments, but also these... A silicified shell.. I frequently guess wrong... Oyster ? Thi 2nd set of photos is the UF MNH Ostrea_compressirostra-UF120412, a much larger Pliocene shell. Also found what is likely a deer tine. Look at those bite marks...must have been hungry. Finally, a fossil that looks like an Equus Navicular,, but slightly different. Note the fine grained detail.. Did not face much water erosion... Enjoy, Jack

Found this little piece a while back, and I'm pretty sure it's a navicular. It looks similar to the equus navicular examples I've seen on the site, but there do appear to be a few differences. The differences might just be due to wear, but I wanted to see if anyone had a different take. Blocks are square inches.
