  1. Greetings fossil friends, I found a very small jaw bone fragment with teeth. Found in Sarasota county while beachcombing the Intercoastal waterway. It is spot that produces fossils, but I think it may be modern. It is approximately 3/4” long (19.05mm) and .25” (6.35mm) thick. please help ID. Many thanks! -Marie

    Encope tamiamiensis Tamiami Formation Late Miocene to Early Pliocene (11-5 Ma) Sarasota, Sarasota County, Florida, USA Acquired from online, August 2023
  3. Holy moly guys. The saga of my historical yard continues... is this man made or a fossil? Had other great finds today, I think this one needs a post all of its own.

    Florida Trip 18th-26th

    Hello all, my name is Jonah. For Spring break I am going to be near Venice, Florida for a little over a week. I'm posting this to see if anyone would like to hunt fossils in the Arcadia area, or Venice/Caspersan. I have experience in the Peace River and diving Venice. If anyone would like to perhaps join or trade information please pm me. I may be stopping in the panhandle to visit an old friend and hunt there as well. So I'll be equipped with gear for both consolidated and non materials. Perhaps meeting a stranger to share a mutual interest is strange, but heck the hard part was convincing my girlfriend, so here goes Here is where my girlfriend and I will be staying, however we will be traveling over to the Peace River in multiple localities. I also brought a two man dingy for some extra mileage in the river. I also have two shovels not pictured. Some small finds from both Arcadia and Sarasota.
  6. Hello, Would anyone have any recommendations, tips/tricks for first time visitor heading to the Sarasota and Peace River area? Any fossil guide tour recommended? Thank you.
  7. On my way to Sanibel today I decided to jog left a bit, and drive thru Sarasota looking for any construction sites that may have fossil shells. I came across one that looked promising. There were a couple workers who allowed me to do a little collecting. I only spent about 20 minutes there since I wanted to get my wife to get to the condo we were staying at. While collecting, I walked around the shoreline of a small retention pond and saw this little guy. This crocodile was only about 5 feet long and was enjoying the water. Here are a couple pics of the area. Here are some of the finds, most will be passed out at an upcoming ESCONI collecting, the participants love Florida fossil shells. Barnacle Continued on next post-

    chesapectens

    Just wanted to share a few pictures of some of the Chesapectens i have been finding the past month at a construction site that a new lake was dug. As far as I know they are Chesapecten quinarius and Chesapecten madisonius sarasotensis. Normally I am looking for vertebrate fossils, but just recently expanded my view to invertebrates. I figured what the hell, there has to be something to them and half the places I search are full of them. Its been quite the journey and Im just sucked in now. Never thought that it would so fascinating and definitely has helped my understanding of the layers of time we sort through. I decided to lay out what I had last night just to get an idea what i had, I felt like a kid laying out my hot wheels lol. I also grabbed a few photos of them in the wall where I pulled some from. They were probably between 15-20’ below ground, thats a guess its hard to tell. thanks

    Florida on my Own

    My son invited me down to visit him in Bradenton, Florida and to take in the Minnesota Auburn football game at the Outback Bowl in Tampa. Of course, I couldn't visit Florida without taking a few fossils home with me. Normally I search the countyside with forum members @jcbshark, @Sacha, and @Shellseeker. But I thought this time I am going out on my own. One afternoon was spent looking at unfinished housing developments around Sarasota. Another afternoon took me to Polk County phosphate mine areas where I scoured any exposed material along backroads. I think I did alright!!! First, Polk County: Now, Sarasota County:

    Unknown Florida Fossils

    I have two gastropods for @MikeR to weigh in on if he has time. These were found in a pile of street material in a upcoming housing development in Sarasota County. I am assuming Tamiami Formation. 1. I am thinking Chicoreus floridanus but the opening looks different. On my specimen, it is fractured off a bit. 2. I am pretty sure this is Subpterynotus textilis, but being such a pretty fossil, I want to make sure. Now I will call on my resident experts @jcbshark and @Shellseeker , or anyone else that has an opinion, to aide in IDing these. The location was from dredging material piled up from the creation of a lake in Manatee County, by Bradenton. The pile was full of dugong ribs and shark teeth. 3. This looks like a horse tooth to me but MUCH smaller than ones I have found before. Jack, this one is for you! 4. Is this a bony fish vertebrae or shark. I am betting on fish.

    Unknown Florida Mammal Tooth

    Hello, I have positively identified three other teeth today by looking through the FF gallery and UF Florida Museum collections. This tooth is different from the Equus examples. I could not match it up with camel either. Some of you have incredible collections. Fossil collected from retention pond spoils in North Port, FL. Hole depth 5-10 feet below sea level. Area near Little Salt Spring. Thank you in advance for your knowledge. Regards, Michael

    Tooth or Rock?

    Found on beach in Sarasota today, curious if tooth or rock. Thank you!
  15. Before pictures are shown, I want to give @MikeR special thanks for helping to ID my finds. I spent countless hours attempting to name my specimens before showing them to Mike. So I am sure he too donated many hours of help to me. Lets say my batting average was a little under 50% (which included obvious ones that I did not send to him) in correctly IDing the shells. Hats off to my teacher!!!!! Less than 50% does mean I received a failing grade. So unfortunately for MikeR, I must repeat his course next year! With my gratitude expressed, let me get on with the topic. There was a wonderful shell bed quarried in the Sarasota, Florida area. That quarry had been abandoned years ago and the most productive piles used in the construction industry now seem to be disappearing. The specimens likely came from this quarry and are from the Tamiami Formation, likely Pinecrest Beds, a late Miocene to Pliocene formation. I have collected and reported on this formation before so many species found this winter are not shown again. These are either my favorites or new specimens for me.
  16. No trip to Florida from those of us 'up north" should happen without at least bringing back some shells and in my case, fossil shells. And no shell collector identifying his/her finds should go without having @MikeR give his opinion on IDs. (By the way, Mike, I skipped Shell Creek after an invite by Shellseeker to visit the Peace River). Next time!) Trying to attach a genus and species to Floridian fossil gastropods and bivalves is VERY difficult. I will be happy if I bat 50% on my identifications. It is for this reason, I hope Mike can peek at my finds. With that said, the shells found in this post were found by me just milling around the Sarasota/ Bradenton area east of I-75. Yes these were construction sites, but most were inactive, not a sole to be seen, and without "no trespass signs". Infra structure for the next phase (home building) had been already completed. People were walking dogs, riding bikes, or just strolling around. Fossil shells are SO abundant in Florida. If dirt is showing, fossils are in it! Just need to stop your car and look if in the area. Now to show what can be found. Over 50 different species were discovered in only a few hours in the early morning before my family awoke. Enjoy and please correct any misidentifications!!!!! As I said, this is Part 1. I can't begin with Part 2 until those fossils arrive in the mail. Part 2 involves assistance by forum members @jcbshark, @Shellseeker, and @Sacha. These are three wonderful individuals that deserve ALOT of praise for putting up with me!! This report will follow soon. Well maybe later since I am relying on the mail service!

    Tooth ID (Alligator?)

    Hello! I was sifting for shark teeth this past weekend at Sarasota beach in Florida and came across this thing. It's 3/4 of an inch long and 1/4 inch wide. I was researching fossils found in Florida and it looks a bit like an alligator tooth, but I'm not sure. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!
