Shellseeker Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I went to the Peace River today. It seemed like a great way to spend Memorial day. My spouse had the Hotdogs, baked beans and coleslaw waiting for me to get home. My friend @jcbshark was asking for an ID. For the 1st 3 hours of digging , the finds were ONLY pretty colored small shark teeth, mostly broken , mostly hemis, but a few were perfect. Then I moved locations to be closer to my hunting partner and at first the only thing that changed was the small shark teeth were black. In the last hour a couple of bones made my day... Big smile BIG smile... 1st from a tortoise, a rather unique bone. I found a "double" 10 years back, You could read about it here... http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/111416-scutes-unknown/ The 2nd is a bone I did not recognize and request an ID. @Harry Pristis may be able to help. Some additional views, The reason I am excited is that I found this Worthpoint fossil and wondered What are the possibilities https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/fossil-miocene-rhinoceros-medial-1923733683 1 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Sorry to burst your bubble, but I have serious doubts about this being a rhino or a foot bone. To me it more looks like a vertebral centrum, possible a sacral vertebra from a juvenile mammal (before fusing with other sacrals to form the sacrum). And not identifiable to any level below Mammalia. Richard Very reasonable alternative. Not identifiable.
