Despite not really feeling up to hunting yesterday (I'm getting discouraged by my finds lately), I decided to go while the weather was still decent. And when you are not expecting to find much and/or set the bar pretty low, it makes it easy to exceed your expectations and have a pretty good trip. Here is what I brought home: First up are the odontocete fossils: My first ear bone ever: And a vert and related piece of bone that were sitting together under an uprooted tree: That's it for cetaceans, but that is pretty good for one trip for me. Other verts (not in good shape, though): Burrfish mouth plates (also not good condition): Ray mouth plate pieces and my biggest tail barb so far: Random osteoderms and bone pieces (I keep less than half of the bones I find): Various steinkerns, which I try to limit now as well, but the spiraling ones are cool: Gator tooth that was still partially in matrix: Fish jaw with teeth (maybe...let me know if you recognize it): Crab claw, I think: What I believe is my first piece of petrified wood here (again, feel free to correct me): And, of course, shark teeth: My best Great White so far: My first Angel shark tooth (shoulder and tip of crown are broken): A cool looking tooth - posterior sand tiger I believe: And the rest of the teeth (including a couple broken threshers, a barracuda, a sawfish/sawskate, etc.), which I won't show individually: As always, I wish my body could have handled a few more hours of hunting, but between little rain (no new wash-out), low creek water levels, rising heat, and health limitations, I think it turned out to be a pretty good haul. And no speeding ticket this trip! Thanks for reading!

I have a probable whale tympanic bulla that I can't identify. It was among the bits and pieces of South Florida phosphate mine (Miocene) fossils in my storage. It had some adherent matrix, including pebbles and even a tiny shark tooth, which I have removed. (The matrix interfered with measurement with caliper.) Anyone here recognize this bit of bone? @Boesse

I have puzzled over these teeth for a while now. I found one in a mix of Florida phosphate mine fossils, then another, then another, and so on. I don't know what to call them, so I didn't put them my drawer. None is crocodilian. The teeth are solid, and one is double-rooted. Can anyone here identify these teeth? The closest I can come to them is an Oligocene xenophorid identified by @Boessesome time ago, but Family Xenophoridae is not listed by Hulbert in his Florida fossils book. The phosphate mine fossil teeth are almost certainly Miocene in age. Here are the SC Late Oligocene teeth for comparison:
