Odd Gainesville find

Recommended Posts

Just left Gainesville, found this oddity while we were hunting and I was hoping to see if anyone can help me ID it.  We are still driving, so if better pictures are needed, please let me know. It is the size of a dime.

It is a phyllodont type toothplate, probably from a wrasse.

Now if I could just learn to be more patient. :)

How about ocean sunfish?

Ocean sunfish (Mola) have bony beaks that lack enamel teeth.

Sorry, I mean regular sunfish (I remembered looking at some specimens, just found some other references to them) genus Lepomis.

i know they have been found in the middle Miocene of Florida.

Hi,

 

If it is Miocene, it looks like Labrodon pavimentatum.
