Hi everyone, I know I haven't posted any fossils in the ID section for a while, but one recent post caught my eye. I immediately recognized a fossil on that post to be similar, if not the same as one I found in the Peace River in Florida back in the February of 2018. I now believe it's the imbricating band of some type of armadillo (likely Dasypus).

It's about 2 cm long by .6 cm wide.

I'd be happy to hear your input!

Here's my specimen

Yup. I concur. Beautiful color on that one--did it come out of the river?

 

 

Cheers.

Looks to be one and the same.

Thanks! Yes it came out of the river. I've only had one fossil hunting trip in Florida and it was at the Peace River (although I really do want to get back down there in the next few years to check out some other areas).
