Unknown Gainesville Creek Fossils


GatorBait

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I recently went fossil hunting in Rattlesnake Creek of Gainesville, Florida (Late Miocene) and uncovered many different fossils but three of them I am unsure of the identity of them. I believe one may be a type of vertebrae, but the others I can not place. The creek is shallow, relatively fast moving with a sandy bottom but many areas where gravel, fossils and stones accumulate. The first 4 pictures are of the same fossil, the next 3 of the the second, and the last 3 pictures of the last fossil. I would appreciate any attempts to help identify. Thank you very much!

The pictures are not showing for me. 

There is a problem at the moment and you may have to downsize the pictures in order for them to post.

The first and second look like rocks to me but the third is definitely bone. Its a bit small to draw any conclusions, other than “Chunkosaurus”

Thanks for the help so far everyone. The pictures should be sufficiently small by now, as they are all under 1 megabyte. Hopefully it should work better for you all.

I agree with @WhodamanHD the first two appear to be geologic (rocks) and the third looks like a small unidentifiable piece of bone
