When I found this fossil, it was kind of a big, oblong, sparkling rock. I ran cold water over it and noticed that it started losing some of its size. Needless to say, this is what I have. I had to use my phone's camera so this is the best I can do with the pics. To me it looks like he is trying to swallow something.

Hey guys, I have a special creek site close to me in South Florida. it yields marine fossils of every kind and even some artifacts. I have found many pieces of dugong bone with a strange circular indentation, and I’m really hoping someone can help me out with determining what causes this? I have found fossils of a huge variety of Pliocene/Miocene marine animals, and dugong bones are the only bones with such markings. There is a raised center and an almost perfect circular depression around it.

Hi again yall, I have another set of pictures of something I found that I am not at all sure what it is, hope it's at least a fossil this time, haha. My first guess is some kind of shell from a turtle but again, huge newbie who probably has another cool rock to add to her collection. It is very nice to hold in your palm because of the shape and texture. Tried to get clear photos with a pen for size, found it in Arcadia Florida in the Peace River. Thanks as always!

Hey guys! I'm hoping someone can help me ID this bone? I found it a little while ago in a river close to me in south Florida. I feel like it’s something obvious like a gator or a bovine but I can’t get a definite answer and it always drives me nuts when I can’t ID a bone! I’ve found one or two others similar to this in the past.

Here are two small whale petrosals that I can't identify -- can I get some help? I am not certain, but I think they are different species. What do you think? @Boesse@Shellseeker

Found this fossil on a beach in southwest Florida. Looks to be like a claw or tooth? Interesting that it has a flat bottom.

Found some great stuff yesterday. Not sure what the long bones are from. I appreciate the help in advance. Thanks!

I recently found a number of pretty sharks teeth in a creek in southwest Florida that I'd like to identify. I've looked in books but so many of the teeth look similar that it's hard to settle on the IDs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've taken pictures of both sides of the teeth, keeping in the same order when I turned them over. The pictures didn't come out as sharp as I would have liked so let me know if you need better ones.

On a trip with Jeff (jcbshark) a few weeks back we were prospecting in a creek where I found a few interesting bones that I would be interested in seeing if more specific identifications can be assigned. The first is a vertebra with most of the processes still intact giving me the hope that it can be identified to species. The second appears to be a small phalanx which may or may not be distinctive enough to say anything more than if it is a phalanx or not. Since realizing that identifications are much more likely when photos are posted to the correct subforum (Fossil ID) rather than included as part of a fossil hunting trip report, I am reposting images of these to see if I can receive any enlightenment on these mini-mysteries. First, the approximate dimensions of vertebra. As more of one of the side processes is missing, the total width of this specimen was actually closer to 15 cm (doubling the distance from the centerline to the tip of the longer blade). Overall height is 8.5 cm but as there seems to be a bit missing from the top, the complete height was likely over 9 cm. The length (front to back) appears to be about 5 cm. -Ken
