Calvin Jenkins Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I'm relatively new at fossil hunting in the Peace River but I found a few nuggets that I am not able to identify so asking for expert schooling here. I assume the first is a long tooth but broken at both ends. The second (3-4" marks) is much smoother and has a twist to it. The 3rd at 5" is just a conical tip of something. The two at 6 & 7 appear to be vertebra of some type but I don't know what, these were found almost a mile apart. The pieces at 8" and 9" are unknown to me, at first I thought it was a curious formation but now I've seen 4 or more of these so I started saving them. I don't know if they are fish tooth or a "claw" or just funny rocks? The final question is an oddball that seemed to "unusual" to be just a "rock" but other than describing it as "brain like" I don't know what it would be? Fish ballast? Thanks in advance!

ynot Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Welcome to TFF! The first one looks like a porpoise tooth. Second and third look like fish, but would like to see better pictures from multiple angles. Forth and fifth look like internal cast of snails. Last one is a fish tilly bone (part of the skull?).

jcbshark Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Top pic 3 rd from left looks to be a gator tooth. To the right of that looks like 2 verts and the pics below that are tilly bones 2 Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

ynot Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Need to make a correction... Last 2 items in first picture look like verts (as jcbshark has said.). The second picture is the snail steinkerns (casts). 3 hours ago, ynot said: Welcome to TFF! The first one looks like a porpoise tooth.
