I finally booked a tour with Mr. Mazza on the Peace River. I talked my daughter into driving down from NC, and my sister here in Orlando to make the trip with me. Well, we weren’t disappointed in the least. Between my daughter and I, we found slightly over 500 teeth, not sure how many my sister found yet. Besides teeth, I found a few horse teeth and one capybara tooth. here are just a few of the many treasures found.

Picked this bone up in the Peace River, FL last week. I have been trying to find a match since getting it home but have not been successful. I first thought it could be turtle or alligator. I had no luck matching it up there and went to land mammal possibilities but again came up empty on a possible match. So, I am turning to the forum for help with an ID. Any input would be appreciated. The bone is 7 cm long x 3.5 cm wide x 3 cm tall/thick. Thanks for looking!

5 Peace River Fossils. Dolphin tooth? Turtle Nuchal plate? Bird bones?
FemurIHKH posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello all, Was hoping for some help identifying some recent finds from the Charlie Creek in the Peace River of Florida. I'm still a novice with ID'ing so I was hoping for some guidance as to where I I went right and wrong. I believe they are, in order: a worn cetacean tooth, turtle nuchal scute, a fragment of stingray barb. The last set I am unsure of. Perhaps some bird clavicles? Thanks for any help you can give, Al -
I was out Monday unsuccessfully looking for inverts, but came back with a ton of shark teeth and a few of the more common vertebrate finds. would appreciate an ID id anyone would like to take a chance. The overall length is 101 mm. I'm thinking a dog sized animal but have no clue. Thanks for the look see!

Was out on the Peace River yesterday and found two Dugong rib bones larger than what I normally come across so I decided to keep them. These dugong bones are so numerous I don't usually save them to add to my collection. After cleaning the bones with some mild soap and water I found one of them to have what look like slice or cut marks on one side. I found this very strange and wanted to ask if anyone has come across similar markings and what may have caused them. Any of the Florida/Peace River crew have an idea? @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker @Bone Daddy

My yearly trip to Florida to visit family and friends was just what I needed. Luckily during our visit, we missed Minnesota's most serious cold snap of the year. As always, I get over to the Peace River area and had a great time with @Shellseeker. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to visit @jcbshark as he is in the process of moving but missed seeing him anyways. Jack and I were very successful, after a LONG hike, at finding a secluded spot to sift on a tributary of the Peace River and it gave up some nice treasures. My free time was also spent looking for fossils in and around Sarasota/Bradenton d

Recovered the below bone from the Peace River a few weeks ago and put it aside thinking it was a partial bird bone or small reptile. On closer examination I can see serrations running along the length of the two sides. This now has me thinking Ray barb. The specimen is 26mm long by 10mm at the wide joint end. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. Found on the Peace River in central Florida. Thought it was just a coincidentally shaped rock but on further inspection it might be a tooth! Grateful to hear from the pros! More photos here: https://imgur.com/a/uJc1o0r

Found this in the peace river a couple of years ago. It really puzzles me. there appears to be so many tiny twisty articulating areas that if it is actually a bone it ought to be recognizable but i havent seen anything to match it with. All ideas and help will be appreciated

This one really has me stumped. Picked it up a couple of weeks ago on a Peace River hunt. I have searched mammal bone, fossil ear bone and other variations on search criteria and can't come up with anything that looks similar. Maybe because it is just a partial of something that is not a common find in the river? If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. The specimen is just over 1" square with several holes/channels. Thanks for any help.

I bought these among others a few years back. I went looking through them today and realized I wasn't sure on these pieces. Peace River Fm, Florida. 1

Got back out on the river this past Sunday. The water level had dropped a little and the flow had slowed a bit. This allowed me to get a little farther into the river at my favorite big bone hunting spot. The day was pretty much uneventful until I heard the telltale "clink" of the shovel on something that seemed bigger than a chunk of dugong. After a little probing and adjusting for the water flow I was able to pull up the targeted object. It turned out to be a reasonably large bone about 4"x6", it wasn't obvious what exactly it could be. I was hoping it was another piece of proboscidean

Doing some more research on a find from this past May in the Peace River, FL. I have been trying to narrow this one down as it is a partial piece and I am not sure it can be identified with certainty. Going through some old posts on the Forum I came across a few possibles with the one I thought closest being a Peccary distal metacarpal (posted by @Harry Pristis a few years ago). If anyone can confirm or point me in another direction it would be appreciated. Thanks!

Since the Peace River, FL has been running deep and fast for the last few weeks I decided to spend some time prepping and making a display for several proboscidean bones found in the spring. After posting the bones for id here when they were found and doing a bit of research on my own I believe what I have are pieces of an ulna from either a Mammoth or Mastodon. There is the possibility of Gomph, but Dr. Hulbert has informed me a couple of times that Gomph specimens have not yet been found in the Peace River. So first up is a photo of the four ulna sections along with the other

This is another bone I picked up last week in the Peace River. I have been trying to ID it but think maybe it will have to be put in the "chunkasaurus" pile. I was leaning toward a section of sloth or other mammal tibia. Any help would be appreciated. Bone is almost 6" long x 3" at the wide end tapering to 1.25" and 2.5" high. The curvature and tapering of the bone is what led me to think possibly a section of sloth tibia.

Hello, This is the proximal head of a fossilized femur that I bought a few months back at a rock shop. The only collection info I know is that it’s from Florida, and by the looks of it it’s probably from the Peace River. After doing some amateur study I’m pretty sure this is the end of a horse femur, though of course I have been very wrong before and so would like some more thoughts/opinions. Unfortunately the place where the third trochanter would be is broken off which makes identification more difficult. Many thanks!

I purchase some matrix and it came a little different than I am use to. It was labeld "Gardner Lacality Peace River FL" and came in unprepped. This was an experience trying to break up the matrix. Not knowing exactly what I was doing, I soaked it in warm water and broke it down the best I could into different size matrix. I need something a little stronger for the other half of the clumps to break down. Everything is a unidentifiable and not complete, but I wanted to post pictures because the colors are so amazing to me. Everything is 1-3MM. As I find more items I will add to this p

Greetings Found this bone in the gravels of a Peace River tributary (in British Columbia) yesterday while hiking. It is clearly old and appears to be a Pleistocene leg bone off some type of smaller ungulate? animal. The bone has had quite a life and has been damaged by gravel reworking. I am a Geologist and identification (if possible) is beyond me so far. Please excuse the picture quality as I am in the field. Be kind haha. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards Rob

Cervidae Deer antler base, Peace River, Florida - Ice Age fossil
traveltip1 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I found this Ice Age fossil in Peace River, Florida.... 1+ inch length of the base of deer antler. Photos show a side view and entire bottom 'button' base, where it was attached to skull. So I think this is a shed antler.- 2 replies
