Fossil identification help please! Peace River Formation Venice, FL area
Newbie77 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello fellow paleontology buffs! I have recently returned from a trip to the Venice area where I did some surface/ beach sifting for fossils. I need to get out and dive there next time. I would love to have some help identifying fossils that are tripping me up. I recognize that there are a LOT of them. Sorry!!! I organized them on to a PDF because there were a lot to look at, but please let me know if it does not open up and I will upload them as images instead. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Since last year I’ve been to a commercial Bone Valley fossil operation in Wauchula for the best fossil hunting in Florida. They bring rich dirt from Bone Valley to Wauchula for people to find amazing fossils. The experience is unlike no other, it’s a dry dig, which means you do not get wet, you sift through the material exposing the most beautiful teeth and other fossils that have been preserved more than 2 million years. First 5 photos are some of my personal finds.

Greetings friends! Would anyone like to weigh in on what this fossil that was found on Caspersen Beach is? A bit about where it was found, Caspersen is North of Punta Gorda and south of Sarasota. The Peace River runs into the Gulf of Mexico just a bit south of Caspersen and Englewood, and the fossils wash up on the beach from a bed near the shoreline. Any ideas on what causes the striping? I haven’t seen any like this. Apologies for all the hand photos. My lighting is meh, and it’s hard to avoid throwing shadows on the desk.

So, I am scanning a sieve for small fossils and up pops this fossil. At a minimum, it is the tip of a long bone, but there is the possibility for more. Two things got my attention.. The texture is not common for bone. and the break (last photo) seems suggestive of claw . Your thoughts... bone, rock, claw ?

This is another find that has me stumped from my last trip to Venice Beach, FL. It’s two twisted strands, approximately 1” long.

Hi all, I bought this nice small shark tooth at a market in Middelburg, Netherlands. It's from the Bone Valley, FL, USA. From (I think) the Peace River Formation, Miocene, 9 mya. Anyone know what species it could be? If more pictures are needed let me know! Thanks in advance, Max

Hello everyone, I was collecting fossils at Peace River in a Florida. It is a part of the Peace River Formation (named after the river) who’s time period is from Late Oligocene-Early Miocene. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be? Thank you!

Exciting new fossil in the Peace Country By Derek Larson, Dino News & Views Daily Herald Tribune, July 6, 2017 http://www.dailyheraldtribune.com/2017/07/06/exciting-new-fossil-in-the-peace-country Yours, Paul H. -
The stratigraphic information for this locality is questionable and so is specified vaguely. The environment is marine shell hash that may span late Miocene-Pleistocene. Dr. Richard C. Hulbert, Jr. from FLMNH had this to say about the locality: There are two “formations” found near the surface in that area of the state. One is the middle to late Miocene Peace River Formation. The other “formation” possible is has been informally called the Okeechobee Formation by Tom Scott, and consists of the sandy shell beds formerly called the Caloosahatchee, Bermont, and Fort Thompson formations. On the geologic map of Florida published by the state’s geological survey it is not designated a formal name and is instead listed as Pliocene/Pleistocene shelly unit. Even if found in situ within the Plio/Pleistocene unit, such specimens could be reworked out of the Peace River Formation. If you are finding them in modern creek alluvium, it will be difficult to be sure which is their original depositional unit.

So my shark teeth collection has grown quite a bit this month. All found in Sarasota-Venice, a lot were found when I was a child, so about 25 years ago. My mom had saved them and just gave them to me. Some were found in the past couple of months.. this is just a few of them I thought might be identifiable. I plan on making some jewelry and I would love to know what they are for sure.. I need to get a good book. I'm sorry I forgot to put something next to them for scaling, it was hard to get a couple of pictures because my son kept pulling them down and putting them on his teeth LolThanks..

Hi guys! It's been a while since I've posted here but I wanted to share some of the things we found yesterday out at the beach I know that I have a lot of teeth & stingray parts, but I'm not sure about some of these other bones.. anyone able to make some IDs here? The non-fossil bones were discovered by my husband and he said he thinks they are from a dolphin. I'm interested in finding out info for the photo with 9 items, the brown thing in the center is about one inch for scale. Thanks!
