Vertebrae identification

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! My boyfriend and I go shark tooth hunting on the south end of Amelia Island, Florida frequently. Today we went to a new area. Close to a dredging site. I think we found a few fossils!

 

They are all vertebrae of some sort. believe one to be a shark, one a fish, and the other 2, I am stumped on.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I don't know but I love that 2nd piece. I'm sure within a day or 2 someone will have the information you want. This forum is full of Florida knowledge.

Great! Looking forward to hearing everyone's opinions. The second is my favorite as well.

We're going back today with my daughter. She is so intrigued, as are we!

Welcome to the forum !! It is a fantastic resource for the identification of fossils you find.   As I looked at your finds, I thought I recognized the smallest one as a shark vert,  and the middle sized one as a Sawfish vert.  I went up to the search field, typed in Sawfish,  and found this older outstanding thread where many of my TFF friends helped me understand the differences.. A good read for you.

Some TFF members on here can actually identify the type of shark.  I believe that your large vert is dolphin... Wonderful finds.  It would be a great gift to get your daughter addicted to a fossil hunting hobby.
