  1. Shorter trip report today - but I caught my white whale! Or in this case - blue shark. Finally got a Meg over 3 inches, and it is perfect. Anyway: Megs and Frags: 3 Hemis 1.5” or over and a lower Mako: A pathological, double-tipped bull shark tooth (First ever pathological tooth I think.): And a really pretty piece of turtle shell, chunk of tusk, a tarpon scale, an Equus astragalus, and a tridactyl horse ectocuneiform (pretty sure on that last one, tentative ID):
  2. (Decided to do a bit of a different trip report this time - actual story to it, so it’s a bit longer. If you want to just see the finds, skip to the end!) So @Done Drillin and I had been individually exploring a certain tributary and sharing spots along it, and decided we should meet up and explore together yesterday. So as I’m bringing some of the stuff down to the water to load into the kayak, I see a little something poking out of the water. Should’ve taken a pic, but it ended up being this: A partial, left P4 Dire Wolf tooth. So I’m already thinking… well, that’s by far the best find of the day, may as well call it here! So we set off, passing by a 6’ gator (Having never seen any gators in this tributary before - just the “slides” they leave), and eventually reach the spot I had been hunting a couple weeks back. A Tapir must’ve died there - cause I found a senile incisor and some partial teeth, and Ron finds a complete tooth and a couple more partials - this after the rooted complete tooth and the canine I found 2 weeks ago. Ron also found some Mastodon frags, but it seemed like the spot was mostly tapped out, so we headed upstream to the spot he had last been checking out - where he’d found tons of associated mammoth molar frags and mammoth tusk, as well as some Megs. His finds from the last time he was there - tusk top right, mammoth on the left. The tusk pieces fit together: So we spend a while digging, finding more tusk and molar frags, Ron finding some pretty Megs, before I then find this: Another Dire Wolf tooth - this one ALSO a P4, but from the right side, and nearly complete too. I’ve never found Dire wolf before - so finding 2 teeth in the same day was crazy. Ron’s digging about a foot away from me too this entire time - on the other side of a log, and watched me also find a canine from something, another Pachy osteoderm (A “flex” osteoderm/Imbricating band… which they shouldn’t have. But I’ll cover that later.), a pretty, small, posterior Meg, and what I later learned was a Glyptodont tooth (At the time I thought it was more Mammoth). Finally we decide to head back to my spot a bit longer, and I find a pretty Equus m3 spit tooth before calling it a day. So finally the finds - starting with @Done Drillin‘s, all in one pic - plenty more tusk and mammoth frags, some very nice, almost complete Megs, a Tapir tooth and some partials. And for mine: Dire wolf teeth: Equus m3 spit tooth: Meg, partial tapir, tapir incisor, and Ray mouth plate that was really nice: The canine from something (Most likely Peccary tusk): First ever glyptodont tooth: A D. bellus osteoderm and a “Pachyarmatherium” flex osteoderm (So story here - Pachy info is based mostly off a 75% complete carapace in a private collection, since Pachys are super rare finds. Said carapace doesn’t have flex osteoderms, it was believed to have 2 layers of immovable shells. But I’ve now found 2 “flex” osteoderms that are far too thick to be D. Bellus, and far too small to be Holmesina, so it’s either Pachy or an as-of-yet undetermined species. Rachel Narducci at the FLMNH has confirmed Pachys don’t have imbricating bands - she’ll be checking the collection to see if she can figure it out soon): Snake verts, claw cores (nice ones this time!) a small gator coprolite, and some gator and croc teeth: And finally, my own tusk and mammoth fragment finds: Anyway, sorry for how long this ended up being! Hope you all enjoyed!
  3. So couple ID’s needed from today… 2 partial carnassials that I’m 99% certain on but would like confirmation, and 1 partial canine that I’ve got no clue on. Partial carnassials - Dire Wolf, right? It’s gotta be: And the canine - found in the same spot as one of the above teeth, but I don’t want to make any assumptions, so… @Shellseeker do you think THIS one could be smilodon? But really - big cat? Seems too blade-like for ursid or canid, but I could be totally wrong.

    Peace River bone ID

    So was sorting some older fossils and came across this one - originally I had it in my “random bone bits” drawer - but it looks relatively complete albeit somewhat worn. My initial thought was something similar to an astragalus - some kind of joint. Wondering if an ID might be possible. @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker @Brandy Cole
  5. Last IDs needed for the day - 2 claw cores, a bone I’m not sure on, what I originally thought was a broken armadillo osteoderm but now is looking deliberate (especially since I found 2 similar ones), and a chunk of a vertebrae 1) Starting with the armadillo osteoderm/ear bone: 2) Then the bone: 3) The vertebrae: 4) Claw core 1: 5) Claw Core 2: Thank you very much in advance! @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker @Brandy Cole
  6. Meganeura

    Payne Creek Canine ID

    Just found this canine - really bad at IDing canines, and it’s decently worn. My only guess is Tapir? It’s about 30-35mm by the looks of it.
  7. Meganeura

    Dasypus bellus osteoderms

    From the album: Florida Mammal bones and osteoderms

    Dasypus bellus - "Beautiful Armadillo" osteoderms
  8. So yet another 3 days straight of fossil hunting… I may be a little addicted. Went out with @Done Drillin and his wife on Friday, to a decent bit of success, back out on Saturday to the same spot with much better success, and then out to Payne’s creek today for more success again! So the finds: Starting with what may be my all-time fav find, a piece of deer jaw with 4 beautifully preserved teeth in it: Next from today are 2 Manatee teeth - pulled them up in the same shovel, I wonder if they’re associated? They both still have parts of the root - and are my first manatee teeth: Next is the top half of another right M1/M2 Equus molar. Funny story - if you go to my post titled “Peace River tributary - July 17th and 18th” - you’ll see I found fragments of a horse tooth. This was in the exact same spot. Probably the tooth I found fragments of, if I had to guess! Next is a deer tooth: Then my Megs and frags as always - the middle Meg is from Paynes Creek and has stunning serrations, and the bottom right fragment is still partially in limestone: 2 C. Hastalis and 1 Thresher shark teeth: A partial long beaked dolphin tooth and partial whale tooth: Tiny Sloth? Claw core: Medial deer phalanx: Armadillo scutes, in order is a D. Bellus, a Pachyarmatherium Leiseyi (Which is apparently incredibly rare - Paynes Creek is one of the few places they’re found), and then a Holmesina Floridanus: Huge chunks of turtle shell: Surprisingly, coral! More ear bones and then dolphin jaw: And finally, mammoth/mastodon frags and tusk:

    Peace River distal phalanx ID

    Found this distal phalanx from something just now - camera lens is foggy so apologies for the poor pics. Wouldn’t have known it was a distal phalanx had I not seen the picture @Harry Pristis posted yesterday. It’s about a half-inch in length - 17mm or so.

    Hunting Florida, interesting finds.

    Out Hunting the Peace River. Very unusual low water levels for summertime. Went back to a location that I have not visited for years, with a good friend. He found some good things.. a snake / reptile vert with processes each as wide as the centrum. 2 teeth that could be pre_equus horses, a bunch of little colorful shark teeth. I have 4 finds that I both find interesting and can not identify. 1) A dolphin jaw bone (pretty special even without teeth)... Questions: Which Florida fossil Dolphin? Very small teeth on edge of jaw. What is the brownish indention line paralleling the alveoli line? Tooth impressions from the opposite jaw? @Boesse 2) Another jaw, much smaller, possibly a family pet ? 3) An Earbone....Not Llama, not Horse, (although similar in size), Not Mammoth/Mastodon. I have lots of Equus ear bones. These are very hard to identify because few people collect them... Odd fossilization, if fossilized. Given the huge number of South Florida Fossil hunters, it is odd that this is the first time I have seen an ear bone anything like this. 1st photo is 30 x 30 millimeters. 4) and last... A bone with a facet and minimal breakage. Seems like it should be identifiable... It is 60 x 45 mm, rather thin.... feels marine mammal or alligator... As normal, I will be searching the internet for clues over the next couple of days

    Peace River mammal tooth

    Hunting right now - found this tooth. I’m 95% sure it’s fossilized despite the color - it’s heavy and the root is solid instead of hollow. no clue what it is though - so any help is appreciated!
  12. Found this today - has a weird pattern and has what looks to be bone texture. Anyone have any ideas?
  13. I know I’ve been making a lot of these lately, so apologies for the trip spam. I’m having lots of time to go hunting, and while the water level remains low enough to hunt, I had to take advantage of it. There’ll be one more on Friday and then I’ll probably be done for August, lol. Anyway! This was another trip to find more spots to hunt, and I definitely came away pretty successful overall. Nothing too crazy, but given most of the day was spent looking for spots I’m not too mad. Now I can go right back to the spots on Friday. So to start off, Megs, as always: The nicer Frags - The big one and the small corner piece actually match. Would’ve been 3” on the dot had it been full. A Gomph or Mastodon milk tooth cusp, horse incisor, tooth from something that I still don’t know, and a very large gator tooth: More dolphin jaw bones + one that may be from something else (The one on the bottom): Various finds including burrfish mouth plates, Ray dermal denticles, catfish spine, ray barbs, antler, shark vert, gar scales, cuda and Sawfish teeth, a sea Robin skull piece, and whatever the vert in the top right is from. I don’t think it’s modern: These next 2 pics are all from the same hole - definitely going to be going back there on Friday if the water allows it: Mammoth tooth frags: Tusk: This is (sadly) modern but I’ve wanted a complete gator osteoderm for a while: Ear bones - periotics are Pomatodelphis I believe, no clue what the bigger one is - sperm whale? Haven’t seen that shape before: And finally the nicer teeth including a half of a C. Hastalis in the bottom left:
  14. Bunch of ID’s needed today! 1) More of a confirmation than anything else - cusp of a Gomph/Mastodon milk tooth? 2) It’s a tooth, I just… don’t know what from. 3) Not a clue. I don’t think it’s pet wood, but I might be wrong? 4) I think this is a whale ear bone. 5) These are all jaw pieces, and I think most are Dolphin, but I wanted confirmation. 1) Milk tooth cusp: 2) Tooth: 3) No clue: 4) Ear bone: 5) Jaw bones:
  15. Hunting today, found a couple things I wanted IDs on! A claw core (Or at least I think it’s one), a shark tooth, and an ear bone. 1) Claw core? 2) Shark tooth - Giant Thresher? 3) Ear bone: @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker Appreciate any help in advance!
  16. So with the water level still being down, and @Done Drillin being in proximity of the river, we decided to meet on the Peace today! Went to the spot I had found last Thursday and had returned to Sunday, and came away with more goodies. So to start off with, here’s my first ever C. Hastalis from the River, and oh boy what a first tooth it is. 2” exactly, and absolutely PERFECT. Not worn, not broken, just stunning: Next up is this complete Dolphin tooth (Long-Beaked @Shellseeker?): 3 small Megs and fragments: This partial of what I’m guessing is a Giant Thresher (Alopias Palatasi?): Whale tooth tip: 2 Fossil Deer teeth + an antler piece: Mammoth teeth Frags: Armadillo Scute (Holmensia Sp.?) Sting ray barbs and dermal scutes: Burrfish mouth plates, Cuda and sawfish rostrum teeth, and a partial shark vert: Some of the nicer teeth: Dolphin Jaw Bone: Ear bone from something, and dolphin periotic: A claw core from something: And finally, a process from a vert (Probably Dugong):

    Canine Tip

    I was out a week ago, hunting the Peace River, not finding much. Basically little shark teeth (Lemons, Tigers, Dusky, occasional Sand Tiger). I have hunted this location a number of times and the only mammal fossils I have found besides marine Dolphin are chips of Rhino tooth. I have an open cut on my leg and about to travel for a couple of weeks, so my hunting opportunities are seriously curtailed. Time to look at and identify fossils I found a week ago. Now this is the Peace River, and that means mostly float fossils, So when I initially picked this out of the screen, I thought it to likely be gator... It's about the right size... When I turned it over , I no longer thought Gator.... quickly switching to un_identified. Pulp cavity and some sort of interesting layering of the enamel.... Not sure why I am adding this,, but found an interesting paper on a Miocene porpoise from Japan, which has some similarity in item D....

    Peace River… tooth?

    Not sure what this is. Tooth? Rock?
  19. Okay currently still on the water - but have 3 ids I’d like help with while I’m here - 1) first is a Carnivore mammal tooth - it’s got no cementum. 2) Pretty sure tapir? 3) Worlds smallest Meg? 1) Carnivore: 2) Tapir? 3) Meg? thanks in advance! @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker
  20. So went out on the peace today to a new spot. Which I will absolutely be returning to. This weekend actually, cause it won’t rain till Monday, so the water is just gonna keep dropping! Anyway, had some awesome finds today, even though my cursed Meg luck continues. So to start off with the coolest finds: We’ve got a m2? or m1 Equus horse tooth in incredible condition, there’s only slight damage to the very bottom of the root on one side: A piece of dolphin jaw sans teeth: A massive glyptodont scute: 2 Tilly bones! I was complaining about not finding any of these before, and found my first 2: My only complete Meg from today, a tiny baby: This absolutely massive 1.25” Tiger shark tooth: Large gator tooth: Gator/Croc osteoderm bits: 4 Ray dermal denticles, one of which is the biggest I’ve ever found: a Tortoise spur, I think? A dolphin periotic ear bone: A worn/broken Dolphin vert: A dugong vert process: And finally, turtle shell and Meg frags: And cause I wanted to showcase sizing, here’s a Nannippus P2 vs the Equus m2/m1, and then my old glyptodont scute vs the one I found today:
  21. Was on the River today, found lots of stuff - gonna post a trip report - but wanted IDs on these 3 things: a possible coprolite, a possible tortoise spur, and a possible ear bone! @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker@GeschWhat 1) The coprolite: 2) Tortoise spur? 3) Ear bone?
  22. Meganeura

    Peace River herbivore tooth ID help

    So literally just got back out to my spot from yesterday in the hopes of continuing with a good shovel to start off the day. First shovel of the day results in this: Dugong? Tapir? Any help appreciated! @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis
  23. Finally back from the creek and had some more ID’s I’d like to ask about! Mostly teeth, and one bone. 1+2) Thresher shark teeth? Never seen this type of shark tooth before. 3) Thinking this is Carcharhinus sp. and is a just posterior tooth, but I’m not sure. It is serrated. 4) Dolphin tooth - 99% sure on this one but wanted to confirm 5) Rhino tooth fragment? Note the vertical HS bands. 6) Toe/finger bone? 1+2) Thresher Shark? 3) Not sure - Carcharhinus sp? Has serrations though the pic doesn’t show em too well 4) Dolphin tooth? 5) Rhino tooth? @Shellseeker there’s vertical HSBs 6) Toe bone?
  24. So I’m currently out in one of the creeks that lead into the peace. Found this tooth - so I don’t have my scale cube currently, but I wanted to ask if I could get an id on it. It’s small - but 1000000% fossilized. Was thinking Dire Wolf since the shape is a perfect match, but I’m not sure if the size says otherwise.
  25. Hello! I am wondering how much this alligator jaw is worth, It is 6 inches and its from the peace river formation ~5 million years old. I thas 5 teeth and 13 sockets (including the ones with teeth) Thank you!
