Hi Everyone, My 10 year old daughter and I went to the Peace River and found lots of fun stuff, including turtle shell, bones of many kinds, probably a couple hundred shark teeth, some horse teeth, and then a few mystery items. Images 1 and 2 show what looks like some type of body armor--didn't seem to match glyptodont, so we are puzzled. Image 3 shows a large predator tooth of some kind. Once again stumped. In images 4 and 5 you can see the tooth is in two pieces. I found the first piece in one seive, then in just the next seive, I found the second piece and they matched up perfectly to form a 2" piece of a large tooth. Doesn't seem like dire wolf or a big cat. Don't think it's dolphin as most specimen were around 1". Perhaps whale? In Images 6 and 7, we think it may be a beaver incisor that is broken and is missing some enamel. The part of enamel that is showing is tapered to a worn point. Images 9 and 10 show another unknown. We aren't clear on what this is. Image 11 shows all the pieces together on a darker surface, so more details may show up for you. What do you think? Any ideas would help as we've looked through our fossil books and on the internet. thanks, Lloyd
