New to fossil hunting looking for help with a few finds

Recommended Posts

I have a few different fossils I was hoping to get some help identifying. I’m brand new to collecting/hunting for fossils. If any other pictures are needed I’ll try to get the best ones possible!!

 

These first teeth I found in Naples, Florida. I came across them by a river there. 

 

The second set of pictures is from the Montour Preserve in Danville, Pa.

This one is also from the Montour Preserve in Danville, Pa. All of these were in one piece.

 

Any help identifying is greatly appreciated, I’m sorry for giving almost no info as I don’t know what’s would be helpful! Thanks in advance all!!

Hello Meis Travis,

 

Your second set of pictures depicts a tabulate coral called Pleurodictyum americanum, common name "button coral" .

I figured I’d add pictures of the teeth with a measurement maybe it will help identify them! I’m very eager to see what everyone thinks the third set of pictures could be too!!

 

thanks all!

This last one isn't a fossil. Looks like limestone or chert. 

 

The white one isn't a tooth. It looks like it may be a part of an echinoid, or sand dollar. 

The first bluish looking one is a fragment of a shell. 

There is no enamel present on either item, and no indication of a root or bone.
