    Bos Taurus

    I went hunting today, 30 mph winds, Thundershowers at 3 pm, but high 70s !! and the water depth was not too deep.. Heavy winds, but shortened the day to try to avoid the rain. Here are all the finds... mostly little shark teeth and bones that I might be able to Identify... Left of the Broken shark vert, Nannippus peninsulatus M1 made my day... I have spent most of the evening trying to ID the tooth above it. In the sieve , I initially thought I had a strange Camelid upper premolar.. Camelid looking at one side , and I thought I had 3 roots instead of 4. I love the crenulated roots, had not noticed that on other teeth... Then I stared at this photo... Stylid meant Bovid for a really old individual and based on size (24 x 19 x 12 mm), can not be Bison.... I can barely believe that it is modern cow, modern float into my Blancan site. From ,, Morphological, isotopic and proteomic study of the Pleistocene and Holocene fauna of Cova dos Santos (Abadín, Lugo, NW Spain) This is a great chart Comparing Length/Width of 2 Teeth between Bison and Bos !!! Not getting out very often, but still Tridactyl and the cow made my day. Also I have a number of broken bones to analyze. Here is a broken bone... Comments appreciated... Fossil bone .. 20 mm diameter, obviously broken on left side.

    Horses

    Out hunting Monday. The days of the year are passing quickly. Here is a place that is more likely early Pleistocene, where it is possible to collect the transition of horse teeth. I found many small shark teeth including Hemipristis, Mako, Bull , Dusky, and large G cuvier Tigers.. It is always enjoyable to pick up 5 or 6 from a sieve when other fossils are less frequent. Here are those other fossils. It is a mixture of some bones ( Calcaneum, long leg bone) I would like to identify, some broken fossils (Glyptodont, Armadillo, Mammoth) , even some curious looking rocks (toss in the sieve, investigate later).. some fossils from the seas that used to cover Florida.... Just sharing what falls into my sieve... My last 5 times out, I have been finding 1 really nice upper Hemi. Here is Monday's entry (above).... but I gave this thread the title of Horses A wolf tooth (Canine present in Stallions, helpful for fighting other Stallions for a female)... These are pretty rare find for me, maybe once a year and this one is kind of distinctive, narrow, longer than normal A broken tridactly horse upper tooth, probably Nannippus peninsulatus. I really love finding these... Takes me back to great fossil hunting memories. Then a very small Non tridactyl tooth... I wonder if this is the transitional horse that @fossillarry occasionally references. They all look like Equus, but it is the small size that is grabbing my attention. and then a couple of more normal sized Equus Teeth... that are 26 and 27 APL respectively Enjoy....

    Hunting Bone Valley

    I am looking for opportunities (combo of weather and water depth) to go hunting. Yesterday was one of those days with afternoon Thunderstorms. Got out about an hour early, trying to catch morning sunshine. Having been to this location before, I am expecting mostly marine shark teeth (Megs, Hemis, Dusky/Bull, Sand Tigers), Stingray fossils, Puffer-fish mouth plates and fewer mammal fossils. Expectations were met. Here is what I found... couple of hundred small shark teeth Plus.. usually it is the plus that interests me most... It took a while but I sorted down to this....the stuff I would keep for a while.. A photo of what should be an Alligator tooth: Sharing because of details on internal "rings" and unusual wear pattern.. A nice Ray barb find (for me) ... usually do not find the tips this long. Is this identifiable to species of Ray ? Then a pleasant surprise. I do not find many Bison teeth.... Then a relatively small lower tooth of a Tridactyl horse... At 40 mm, the longest Crown Height I have found in any of the smaller horses. An extra photo for those trying to ID to species and tooth position... Finally, An Equus tooth... This is an odd tooth, Long and THIN... 10.8 mm at its widest point, not much wider than my Nannippus tooth (8.1 mm) above.. Note the Transverse Hunter_Schreger Bands on the root end of this photo below Finally , it seems that the top edge of the chewing surface was "agatized/silicified" but that is now deteriorating....A very interesting tooth.. Mostly the shark and ray fossils came early and the mammal teeth later. The Thunderstorms held off until 1:15 pm, as I was finding the mammal teeth and because of that, had delayed my departure.. 30 minutes of Thunderstorms, heavy rain and flashes of Lightning drove me to cover and away from my shovel... I left after just one more sieve.... All in all, a glorious day with interesting finds...

    Tridactyl Horse

    A couple of beat up teeth. Just seeing if there is anything identifiable. @fossillarry @Meganeura Both cannot be lower right, the one below should be IDed as lower left.

    Equid Nannippus tooth?

    Another equid tooth to confirm ID. This one could be Nannippus peninsulatus but I saw some similarity with Protohippus due to the connected protocone. It was found in Polk County, FL and measures 14 x 15 x 34mm. Thanks for looking! @Harry Pristis @Shellseeker

    6 small upper horse teeth

    My last time out hunting was 2 weeks ago, just before the deluge. Found some nice items including 2 small upper horse teeth, and then stopped at a hunting friend's home, where he sold me a number of fossils, including 4 additional small horse upper molars. 1st tooth I believe to be Merychippus from the Miocene of Florida. I found/donated one of these to Richard Hulbert, Florida Museum of Natural History 18 months ago. It looks like some HSBs --- Hunter_Schreger Bands are more easily discernible than on Equus teeth. Tooth #2.... One of my finds... a Nannippus I think... there were 4-5 species in Florida Tooth #3 Another Nannippus.... little bit larger... Look at that isolated circle on the left ... I wonder if that is diagnostic. Tooth # 4 is once again larger... might be Nannippus, but I am less sure.... Tooth #5 is not Nannippus,, which leaves lots of other Genus and lastly an interesting , different and slightly damaged tooth... Definitely need a thread to follow on this one... I have sent the Photos to Richard Hulbert, but with his semi_retirement, I would like to start depending on TFF expertise.... Usual suspects, @Harry Pristis, @fossillarry @siteseer @darrow Thanks for any and all insights and threads to follow... as Always I am after Genus, Species, Jaw position. All this starts with Genus.

    Summertime Hunting

    In the summer, my hunting strategies change. The Peace River is too fast and deep for successful hunting. I travel farther into Bone Valley, either land hunting or very remote lakes, rivers, creeks. Generally, I see no other hunters. I have a few spots that I know about but hunt sparsely and save as last resorts. I am having difficulty making time for hunting. Wife is away to SC, and I am on dog sitting duty, guests and relatives are arriving later this week and next. So, Monday was one of the few days I could go.. My hunting partner called Sunday night, had to back out. I went anyway, but when going solo into remote parts of Florida, I take extra precautions. Monday was a beautiful day, sunshine, very warm, and for whatever reasons, noseeums, mosquitoes and horse flies were not as active as they normally are... I went back to a location where I had super success years before. I was finding little shark teeth, ray teeth, broken barbs and denticles and little else. Then I popped a very nice barracuda tooth, one of my best... this shape is not as common as the other shape I find and I started wondering if it was from a different species. Searching the Internet, I found this research paper that used Barracuda fossils from UF_MNH for analysis. I also saw comments that scientists and volunteers were finding bony fishes including Barracuda at Montbrook and we on TFF have members in high places @digit. The paper is : https://www.researchgate.net/publication/347523589_New_Records_of_the_Genus_Sphyraena_Teleostei_Sphyraenidae_from_the_Caribbean_with_Comments_on_Dental_Characters_in_the_Genus It has this photo: A & B are symphyseal teeth, C thru I are "normal" teeth. I did not know that. I find many more symphyseals than normal Barracuda teeth. Back to the days hunting.. I got tired of this location after an hour, and moved 50 feet downstream.. I noted that there was gravel in the center and though I had dug here extensively years previously. So, I did not know why the gravel was there, but decided to try a sieve or two anyway. This screen is pretty full 4-5 shovel fulls. I am scraping some type of bluish clay material. It is the lighter stuff. I am always looking for black. Do you see it? How about now ? I saw it immediately, and paused to take an In_situ shot, just for TFF. Note the black root and gray blade. I have found Megs here before, Usually are bluish green and the roots lighten up a lot. I found this Blue 20 feet away , almost 2 years ago. Here is Monday's Meg, Both seem to have that lighter tip... I found a Tridactyl lower horse tooth in the next sieve. and it not matter how or why the gravel was there. I was finding good stuff and I would stay on this spot for the rest of the day. !!!!! I think this is a lower right m3, similar to example T, page 292 The Fossil Vertebrates of Florida. As you can imagine, I was really pleased. It was not quite over yet.. Back to finding little shark teeth, ray teeth, broken barbs and denticles, broken mammal teeth (likely horse). With 30 minutes to go, I picked up a chunky little tooth, no roots beat up. Did not recognize it and toss it into the collection bag without determining what it might be. At home, a couple of things occurred to me.. Minus the roots, this was basically a whole tooth because the photo of the root area has edges that are mostly unbroken.... the 2nd tooth has a ridge running down the right side with vertical striations.... I have seen that previously at this site. In February, Richard Hulbert identified the tooth on the right as "an upper cheek tooth of a rhino". I think this new tooth on the left is a premolar of a juvenile rhino. The two teeth were found 25 feet apart. Monday was a rather spectacular day. Life is like a box of chocolates. ......
  8. I made it out hunting Thursday and Friday, found some treasures I am still sorting. Also , met up with a friend who has been finding some early horse fossils and wished to give to the opportunity to acquire them. He had a very nice , very small upper molar. and a couple of Proximal Phalanx... The Phalanx were of a size to make me wonder if they were pre_Equus or Equus. One is just under 3 inches and the other under 2.5 inches. do we move from Equus to pre_Equus and then down to what I believe is the smallest of the Florida small horses, Nannippus morgani ? For Reference , in his Gallary, @Harry Pristis has a 52 mm ( 2.07 inch) Phalanx of Neohipparion eurystyle. The UF MNH Database has a 48 mm (1.9 inch) Nannippus peninsulatus Phalanx and a 40 mm (1.6 inch) Nannippus aztecus. As I searched Harry's Gallary for answers, I found this picture, NOTE the words "Sizes vary Substantially". As these things happen @Brandy Cole had found a rather large Horse Proximal Phalanx (3.75 inches) and asked this question: I do not know what the upper end on size for Equus Proximal Phalanx. Maybe another TFF member can suggest one from their fossil collection. I sort of wonder about Clydesdales. From what I can derive from the sizes on Nannippus peninsulatus and aztecus, the lower end on Horse Proximal Phalanx (at least in Florida) might be 1.4 inches or 36 mm. That does not include the pre_Nannippus horses (like Parahippus), which are not in my south central Florida hunting locations. So, we have equus at 69 mm, eurystyle at 52 mm and I have just acquired one at 60 mm. If any member has identified a 60 mm Proximal Phalanx, please post.... Thanks Jack

    Some Incisors

    Here in Florida , we can have driving Thunder storms followed by Sunshine.. One areas get 3-4 inches of rain, another 5 miles away gets a trace. I frequently check the water depth gauges. One of my locations opened up and I tried with a friend for some deeper water hunting. First, I found a small horse incisor consistent with the Blancan age of fossils from this site. The most common small horse I find here is N. peninsulatus, and I think this is likely from that horse. Then a switch to modern, and I am thinking this is wild pig / boar, but not positive whether it is an incisor or a tusk. and finally, what I believe to be a fossil incisor but I am just not sure the mammal.. It looks to be the size and shape of an Equus incisor, BUT I have not seen that enamel texture, the horizontal lines on the enamel tip, the dual tower nature of that enamel tip in the normal Equus incisors I find. Most of my Equus incisors are just bigger versions of the N. peninsulatus incisor I showed above. Thanks for any any all comments. On this last tooth, width of chewing surface is 11 mm, length of tooth is 43 mm.
  10. 5 years ago, in a very special place, I found my 1st Nannippus and today on my last possible hunt before Christmas with good friends, I found my 10th. One of my favorite fossils. These are exceedingly rare, even for this location, and this one is my smallest. I feel blessed and wanted to share my outrageous fortune with all my good friends on TFF. Merry Christmas. Jack

    Closer look at Horse teeth

    I have been working with Shellseeker in PM's on identifying several horse teeth found in the Peace River this spring. His input has been extremely helpful and we have narrowed down almost all. The two shown here raised the question as to whether they are Equus or Nannippus based on size (length/crown). I am posting them here hoping for additional input on classification. They are numbered 3 & 4 as they are part of a series we were evaluating. Any input would be greatly appreciated. The red/pink ruler is inches. The blue is metric and provided to give a close up of the crown of each.
