A great day in the sunshine. Few finds but all interesting... Abertella dengleri echinoid, @Sacha Transformed to Silica, I am hopeful of finding a whole one.. Pachyarmatherium leiseyi... these are rare and Tiny, found my 1st one in 2014. Pristis lathami Rostral tooth... A Tortoise footpad, more likely than Glyptodon tail osteoderm A piece of pretty Bark Ivory A Steinkern... of a Gastropod that I do not know the name... The silicified core of a different gastropod.... Really a fun day... finding many favorites... AND An unknown Caudal Vertebra to identify. This should be identifiable.. How many of the Peace River fauna have tail vertebrae this wide. I believe it not to be Marine Mammal, .. I am hopeful another TFF member Identifies this before I track it down in a more difficult way...

The only terrestrial reptile fossil I own: Mycterosaurus longiceps
gond posted a topic in Member Collections
In my collection (about 30 fossils in total, but it's always expanding!) there is only one fossil of terrestrial reptile (but I'm saving some money to get another one soon!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Species: Mycterosaurus longiceps Size: 1 cm x 5 mm Age: 280-275 mya (Lower Permian, Kungurian) Origin: USA, Oklahoma --> Dolese Brothers Quarry --> Richard's Spur About this fossil: one of the smallest ones in my collection, it is a partially complete caudal vertebra of Mycterosaurus longiceps. It is missing only a small piece in the upper part of the vertebra.- 2 replies

I was digging around in Sacha's wonderful Merritt Island matrix the other day and found this. First let me apologize for the fuzziness of some of the images. My curiosity over-road my patience. Because of the ball and socket, I'm thinking this is a salamander caudal vertebra? If that is correct, would this be a vertebra that would break in an effort to avoid predators? Or could this be where the tail grew back? Mind you, these are just guesses. Perhaps it's not even from a salamander. I will try to get better photos, but this little bugger is so small, I'm having a hard time getting clear images. Thanks for your help! @old bones, @MarcoSr
