A great day with a good friend. At the very end , he found a jaw segment with 2 teeth. I do not know what it is...Only have photos I think the Jaw is 33 mm with each tooth about 11-12 mm. I have a number of interesting finds.. and little time to research. 1) A bivalve transformed to Silica 2) Botryoidal bubbles. I guess there is a little Druzy there also. These are just fun to find... 3) A lower left jaw m3... 4) A toe bone.. looks similar to Mastodon, but they can not be this small, can they? 24 x 20x 19 mm 5) A carnassial, maybe a lower m1. Look at the lines in the chewing surface of the 2nd photo. 6) A very unusual tooth or tusk fragment. The hollow core might mean whale or Alligator... Thanks for looking. Any identifications greatly appreciated. Jack

Hunting a new location today. My partner was doing much better.. The last 3-4 sieves had some interesting items. On this 1st one, I hoped for more, but this was all we found. I may have to try this location a couple of more times I have a number of these that I thought came from Bonita... This one might have come from a sardine. I always mis_identify the modern version for the fossil version... Let me ask @Harry Pristis if he thinks this is an "m3". There were some interesting bone partials, turtle footpads, and many small teeth.... The water is still pretty deep. I frequently had to close my mouth and lifting a full shovel up thru 5 feet of water is challenging. Really liked that druzy... Jack

Crinoid calyx or echinoid? Found in gravel with Ordovician-Devonian fossils. About 2cm across at the widest point. Druzy coating over the fossil which seems to be an external mould. In orange jasper. Thanks so much!

I hardly ever go out on Weekends, because it takes away the perception of solitude. But today ,made an exception... Showing off a couple of finds, and asking a couple of questions... 1st is a lower left Equus tooth, likely the m1 or m2. Equus is pretty common in the Peace River. This one is pretty small at 24 mm APL. Question:... What is you smallest APL for an Equus tooth? 2nd is a P. mirifica about the same size as the Equus tooth. Blowup of enamel.... Question. What has happened with this tooth? Is that sparkly stuff druzy? On the lower left enamel, looks like HSBs ... but HSBs do not occur in Camelids.. So what are those slanting lines? Here is an example of Hunter_Schreger Bands (HSBs) in Rhino teeth..

Hi guys, avid rock hunter here, brought home this “thunder egg” from crater of diamonds in Arkansas a few years ago. I finally got a slab saw and it’s not what I expected! It’s semi transparent in spots and some druzy inclusions. Some areas seem a little oolitic? Could it be an “agatized” fossil of some sort?
