VeniceMom Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Hi all!! These were found along the Venice, FL beaches this past week (along with other items that like dozens of shark teeth, a sand dollar, lots of shells, etc). My extreme novice research says the common epochs here are Plio and Pleistocene (but spans early Miocene through Pleistocene epochs from what I have read), with the main formations being undifferentiated shellbeds, Caloosahatchee formation, Tamiami formation, and Fort Thompson Formation (although I've seen geo material reference others as well like the Peace River Formation, which I know is popular on TFF, but unsure whether it actually encompasses Venice Beach area). From reading the forums, it seems that Venice is already well known by members, so I suppose I am mostly writing out this info above you so all can correct me if I am wrong! Could anyone else identify any of these? I have a few guesses, but that is about it. Set A really interested me because of what looks like fossils within in them - maybe I am just seeing things though *I didn't put much focus on the shark teeth (this was just a group of the teeth found on 1 of the days). I am really interested to learn how to identify other items! Edited November 24, 2020 by VeniceMom Added comment on Set "A" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Trilo Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I don't see any fossils in set A, Set B #16 looks like a sand tiger and #13 looks like a lemon. Can't help with the rest but I will say great photos, most have size labels, they are on a solid white background they are in focus, you provide multiple photos and number them. it makes it a lot easier for people to help.
