GatorBait Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 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!

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 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. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Try resizing the pictures to less than 1 megabyte. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Miocene_Mason Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 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” “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorBait Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I agree with @WhodamanHD the first two appear to be geologic (rocks) and the third looks like a small unidentifiable piece of bone Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt behind the trailer, my desert Them red clay piles are heaven on earth I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt Patterson Hood; Drive-By Truckers May 2016 May 2012 Aug 2013, May 2016, Apr 2020 Oct 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
