Bone Daddy Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Picked this up at a dry land site some time back and forgot about it. While going through my fossil boxes recently, I re-found it. It came out of the Tamiami Fm. near Sarasota with a lot of other Pliocene/Pleistocene material. There seemed to be some Miocene mixed in there as well, so I am not sure where to start with this one. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
