Order Littorinimorpha Family Cassidae Semicassis granulata (Born, 1778) Statigraphy: Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: APAC Pit, Sarasota County, Florida USA.

I was hunting with a couple of TFF friends doing a ground search in an area that produces 90% marine fossils, Megs, Makos, but no GWs, Whale /Dolphin earbones and vertebrate, ray teeth, fish verts, dugong rib bones with a few mammal bones and teeth, primarily horse. I found this jaw section: My initial take was whale, but then too small for whale and I switched to gator. I have seen no alligator teeth and lots of whale material. Is there anything besides size that would confirm or eliminate one or the other ?. Thanks for comments, suggestions, IDs.

This species is endemic to the Upper Pliocene Jackson Bluff Formation of the Florida Panhandle.

Busycon maximum is a geographically widespread shell found only in the Upper Pliocene of the Southeastern United States. Form alumense from the Florida Panhandle differs from B. maximum found in the Sarasota shell pits by lacking shoulder knobs and in having a more compacted spire.

Need help to identify the following fossil. It was found in Milos, preserved in volcanoclastic sediment and diatomite. Data from a study in the area suggest late pliocene to early pleistocene. Looks like an echinoderma, but unlike any I've ever seen, since it's test appears to have layers and no apparent mouth (unless it's on the bottom part). I have even considered it being a cystoid or some coral, but I haven't had any luck researching my theories. Units on the pic with the ruler are cm and size is about 4.5cm. Any suggestion would be much appreceated!
