Jessvaughan Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I found this piece off the coast of Venice, Fl about a year ago. Since then, I have been unable to ID on my own. I have a few candidates in mind, but I wanted to see if any veteran "bone guys" could shed some light on my find. I'm a very casual hunter. Biology teacher during the year, and fossil hunter along the Fl coast for the summer. I'm still getting my feet wet. Pun intended. Thanks! -Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calhounensis Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) At first glance it looks like a proximal phalange from a large cat, I have heard of jaguar material coming from Venice. It's a fantastic specimen, great preservation. Edited March 18, 2014 by calhounensis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
