hnjosey Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I found this fossil on Caspersen Beach in Venice, Florida. As far as I know, it's from the Bone Valley Member, Peace River Formation, Hawthorne Group. Any ideas what this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Parrot fish have a split tooth plate, this one is whole. It belongs to a Diodontid (burrfish and porcupine fish). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
