I went out hunting yesterday. It seems to me that Florida is in a drought and that water level are so low that they preclude the use of kayaks. So I decided to walk into the backwoods of Florida... pack as light as possible and carry a cellphone and lots of water. Walking takes up digging time and my results were few. A couple of small makos, 2 horse teeth, 2 gator teeth, a tapir cap, fish skull cap, a chunk of gator/tapir jaw with alveoli but no teeth, and a handful of small shark teeth. Two items encouraged me to post today. On my walk, I happened to spot a paw print. I had a small knife and a tire iron, so felt I was prepared for any eventuality. 6 months ago , I put up a 3 inch paw print that had claws and it was identified as a coyote that wandered under my house. This paw print seems bigger... This is the tire iron, distance between the bend and narrow part about 7 inches, if I subtract an inch from each side .... about 5 inches. This is the paw print any suggestions on what animal made the print appreciated. When only finding a few fossil, I search the sieve longer. I noted some thing about this fragment that makes me think it is a canine. Now, I do not think we'll be able to Identify but, this changes some of my mind on what the inside of a Canine might look like.... It can have an open core, like gator , whale , etc... It can have different layers, cementum, enamel, dentin I picked it up, because I thought I saw serrations inside the tooth...Look at that last photo below. What is that layer ...how crazy is that ? Crazy enough to want to discuss with you... maybe others can share odd things inside broken canine teeth

Brand new to the forum here, and looking for anyone to help ID. Found in South Dakota on a river bank. Please let me know if there’s any other info that would be helpful! edit: Size is 5x7 inches Thanks in advance.

Greetings, dear forum participants. I would like to welcome everyone to discuss a sample of Baltic amber with a possible animal fingerprint. Place of origin Baltic Sea coast. The age of the find is unknown. Areas highlighted in the photo, presumably the animal's fingerprints. Between the possible prints there is an imprinted structure, presumably animal fur. In addition to photographs, I made a video showing how I remove a sample form from amber. ***Translation from Russian using google translator.

Hey, not sure I’m posting in the correct manner but any help ID’ing would be gratefully received! Also I’m aware it may not be a fossil. Found in a remote area in Breckland Norfolk UK, next to a bomb hole (which are common here) so could have been thrown up in an explosion? The photos don’t seem to capture the depth but it looks like a paw print? Cheers all
