I believe I got the material from someone on here years ago and I get a chance to go through some from time to time. This is Alafia River stuff from Lithia Florida. It had a note of Oligocene/Miocene for age. One of them is kind of hard to see but right beside the other and I suspect these are internal molds in a piece of coprolite.

I found this rock in Florida's Alafia River in an area with a lot of coral. Each "shell" is approximately 2mm across and the whole rock is either composed of or covered with them.

I found this small piece of jawbone with 1 tooth in Florida's Alafia River on Friday. The jawbone segment measures 1.5" in length and the tooth is approx. 5/8" long by 1/4" wide at the widest point. The top of the tooth appears to be worn almost completely smooth. When I got home, I was rinsing the sand off the jawbone fragment when the tooth came free of its socket from the top, and a tiny shell of an unerupted tooth fell out of the bone from the bottom. Can anyone direct me towards an ID?

From the album: Alafia River Coral
To quote www.paleoportal.org, "[Florida's] state stone is a fossilized coral (Montastreasp. is pictured) that lived in the shallow seas covering the area during the upper Oligocene to lower Miocene (23-26 million years ago). Over time, the calcium carbonate of the coral skeleton has been replaced with agate." This piece has druzy quartz areas.- 1 comment
