Done Drillin Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Most of the fossil hunting in Jacksonville is limited to dredge spoil sites from the St. John’s River. The majority are off limits or severely overgrown by vegetation so when I saw bulldozers turning over one of my favorite sites along the river I knew it was only going to take a few showers to wash it down and the tropical rains from last week did the trick ! Made it out there 2 days in a row and was quickly reminded how good it can be here with my first find a beautiful great white tooth partially encased in matrix. You find alot of fossils here with matrix on them and found several sharks teeth, a partial horse tooth, and a piece of capybara molar all with matrix still on them. Found a box full of broken sharks teeth including some heartbreaker megs but managed a number of nice great white and I.hastalis teeth but the best find was a decent Eremotherium tooth split vertically down the middle - ugh ! Need some help with a partial horse tooth that appears to be pre -equus. What’s left of the tooth is almost 2cm in mesio- distal length and slightly more than 1cm in the bucco- lingual dimension. Hopefully it can be further identified. Many thanks ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meganeura Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 No ID help from me unfortunately - but wow those are incredible finds. Congrats on the sloth tooth and the great white, those are incredible! Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
