rwhitty2012 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I wanted to share a few of my finds from this year, but cannot create an album yet. These are from several different trips out to the Peace River. The lighting was not ideal, but I tried to get the photos to where you can see the finer details. If you have more info on the specific species these may belong to, please let me know. Fish Scales Fish Mouth Plates Turtle Spur Glyptodon Scutes A few teeth front and back - The one on the left may be a fish tooth, the others may be incisors but of what animal I am not sure. They all have a polished, glossy feel to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullsnake Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Really cool finds! Looking forward to more from you. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwhitty2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Thanks Bullsnake. have a lot of items yet to photograph, just starting that process since I have a little extra time this week. Will be posting some of the unknowns in the ID Thread. Here are some additional items. Possible coprolite? The left 3 are alligator or crocodile teeth. I think the one on the right is a barracuda tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwhitty2012 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 These are some earlier photos. These are turtle neural scutes front and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwhitty2012 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 A few unknowns, front and back Most of these are tooth material and shown in previous photos. The top right is probably a piece of antler. This is shaped like a hoof and has an interesting pattern on the bottom, but I'm not sure what it is.

Shellseeker Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I will be very interested in any specific species identifications. I am under the impression that the primary fish mouth plate from the Peace River is from a puffer fish. The Peace is a wonderful gift. Today was overcast and cold, but Wednesday was sunny and warm all day. It does not get any better.
