I recently found this turtle shell fragment in a Plio-Pleistocene shell and limestone deposit in South Florida. It has more detail than many pieces that I find and although it might be a shot in the dark, maybe someone with more expertise than I, can identify from which type of turtle? Thanks Mike

In preparation for making a trip report from my recent visit to Florida, I have to ID many (sorry!) finds that are unfamiliar to me. Here goes. Unknown coral? Dugong process from Thoracic Vertebrae WHALE JAW OR RIB Really odd to me Pig snout??? Just kidding! Fish vertebrae? TIP OF A BILLFISH I have seen this somewhere but can not figure it out. NURSE SHARK TOOTH!!! TRIDACTYL HORSE UPPER MOLAR . Sorry about this picture. Two fossils were actually added to the same photo. Ignore the Two with X's. I placed them in a second photo (10 b) . Vertebral pieces? Whale? What is the projection on 10a? 10 A AXIS VERTEBRAE OF SMALL WHALE SLOTH?? FOOTPAD BISON TOOTH FRAGMENT BILLFISH TIP Small bone FROM WHAT?? FISH TOOTH CRAB CLAW!! TORTOISE CLAW CORE SAWFISH ROSTRAL TOOTH Fish Pectoral Spine, Catfish? BEAR CLAW Thanks for any insight!! Mike

In one of the Christmas auctions I received a bountiful supply of fossils from @minnbuckeye from the Tamiami Formation (Late Pliocene) of Florida. There were well over 100 nicely identified bivalves and gastropods (with a few other odds and ends in there for fun). Mike was nice enough to include a couple of items that were not identified, just so I would have something to do. This one I would like to get confirmation of my ID and if anyone knows the species, that would be great. I don't have many detailed references for that formation, and the lists I have seen never get that specific. I know @MikeR is very familiar with this material, but there are some others out there that probably know as well. Thanks for any help you can offer. In the two pictures, it is item A that I am talking about. I believe it to be a Longchaeus sp? The two shells labeled B are other Pyramidellidae that I have for comparison. You can see they are very similar except the item in question has the strong plications on the columella which the Pyramidella do not. The yellow bar on the side in 1 cm. I found an paper (Landau, Bernard & Lafollette, Patrick. (2015). The Pyramidellidae (Mollusca: Gastropoda) from the Miocene Cantaure Formation of Venezuela. Cainozoic Research. 15. 13-54. ) that shows a specimen I think looks very similar (which led me to the genus) but it is from Venezuela and I'm not sure whether the species there and in Florida are linked at all. Both are Longchaeus suturalis Thanks again for your help.

Order Neogastropoda Family Fasciolariidae Pliculofusus acuta (Emmons, 1858) Stratigraphy: Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: APAC, Sarasota County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: Most Plicofusus in the Pinecrest have been referred to as P. scalarina, however they appear closer to the Pliocene forms from the Carolinas. P. acuta has fewer, but more prominent ribs than P. scalarina as well as more angulated whorls.-

Order Neogastropoda Family Fasciolariidae Cinctura rhomboidea (Rogers & Rogers, 1839) Stratigraphy: Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: MR 9474-1017 from SMR Phase 10 and MR 1356-92 from APAC, Sarasota County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: Some authors have called the short spire form C. apicina, but in the Pinecrest Beds, both forms occur and can be identified by the unadorned apical whorls.-

Order Neogastropoda Family Fasciolariidae Fasciolaria okeechobensis Tucker & Wilson, 1932 Stratigraphy: Golden Gate Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: Construction site, Collier County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: Similar to the recent Fasciolaria tulipa, but with the first two apical whorls highly sculpted. Some authors have listed this species as an index fossil of the Middle Pleistocene Bermont Formation, but I have found it at several Tamiami Golden Gate sites as well as the Caloosahatchee.-

Order Neogastropoda Family Fasciolariidae Fasciolaria monocingulata (Dall, 1890) Stratigraphy: Golden Gate Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: Bonita Grande, Lee County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: Similar to the recent Caribbean Cinctura lillum, but with a prominent incised line under the suture. Mostly found in the Caloosahatchee Formation, but a few records exist in the Tamiami, mostly in the carbonate beds south of Sarasota.-

Order Neogastropoda Family Fasciolariidae Heilprinia caloosaensis (Heilprin, 1886) Stratigraphy: Pinecrest Sand Member of the Tamiami Formation Location: SMR Phase 10, Sarasota County, Florida USA. Status: Extinct Notes: This shell is sometimes noted as Heilprinia carolinensis. Dall (1892) in his description of Fusus caloosaensis carolinensis, stated that further one collects north, the heavier and thicker this species became, but noted that intergrades existed. Both slender and thick forms are found in the Caloosahatchee Formation. In the FLMNH database, specimens in Florida are typically identified as H. caloosaensis while those in the Carolinas are listed as H. carolinensis.-
