Lots of fun finds from my last trip to the river! Can anyone tell me more about this tooth? I haven’t seen a mako with a curve and cusp like that before. What am I looking at? Thanks! :)

I did not personally find this, it was from Harry Pristis, from his Peace River collection. But it is in my collection now!-

Hello All, I am still fairly new to fossil collecting. I live here in South Florida and have been doing most of my fossil hunting on the Peace River. We have been using a sifter we picked up from Shark Frenzy in Venice Florida, which works great on the beach but less great on the river. I have been seeing awesome sand scoops and modified mud shovels here on the forum. I know lots of people on here seem to modify the items themselves, however that isn't something I have the experience or tools for. Can anyone tell me where I might be able to purchase or have one made?I attached a picture of one we used with a guide on the river, we loved the double handles and the reinforced scoop ,and would love to find something like this or have it made. Thank you all for your time.

I frequently return to interesting locations to hunt, so I have a history over time of what is available. and I note differences between the locations on the Peace River. I was out Sunday, We started at one location and spent 2 hours hunting... Always find shark teeth but that is quite a bit of time for so few teeth. I like the small bit of coral... likely could be Identified from the corallites. Note the number of Hemipristis serra and G. mayumbensis. I always wonder about the age of the fossils I find, even though I realize the Peace River is a washing machine of different aged fossils. So I think about just how old is the location that contains these teeth. I always have a lot of time to think while digging for fossils... Here is an interesting thread from TFF experts on G. mayumbensis.. Giving the low number of finds, we decide to move about 100 yards down stream... Definitely better, more finds but note the number of H. serra and G. mayumbensis. That is a LOT of Mayunbensis !!! more than I have found in any Peace River location in a day of hunting over 15 years... Note the whitish roots and colored blades right out of the Peace River. There is a single small P. contortus directly above the row of Mayumbensis. Above the shark teeth are 5 broken pieces of Stingray mouth plate, a possible broken Crocodile tooth, and a fish Vertebra. Top row on the left.... Some Sea Urchin spines, Sawfish Rostral teeth and one of my favorites I found this piece last spring, 50 feet away and finally a couple of fossils that might not be marine based... Likely Giant Armadillo or Glyptodon, but unrecognizable... and finally Unsure here, I usually associate this texture of bone with marine mammal, but the underside make it look like turtle, maybe sea turtle. Lots of questions, some hints, few answers... Enjoy

I sifted this up from the Peace River in Hardee County, I thought it odd against the gray and black of everything else in my screen. It's almost like a pretty stone with 50 layers of lacquer poured over it, 3 dimensional in appearance, you can see into the rock.

Found this tooth in the Peace river yesterday. I thought it was just a rock until I looked at the end.

Got back last night from a paddle on the Peace River and these are some of the unknowns I was hoping to get some help with. I am still totally new at this and my best guess for number 1 was maybe part of a manatee tooth?roughly 1/2 inch in length and height 2. some sort of mammal tooth possibly with missing inner enamel ? 3. some sort of vertebrate; its the smallest one I have ever found , curious about what species it might be from. Also it's so cute ! ( have yet to see anyone else on the forum think fossils are cute , but this thing is adorable )

Went out Hunting both Wednesday and Thursday. Very unusual, I usually need recuperation time, but it seems the extra exercise helped. So what is happening is that we are starting to Hunt the Peace River again because the water depth has dropped. We are returning to places we have not been in Months to "test" the depth. On Thursday we picked one of those After sorting out small shark teeth , these were my best finds of the day. I especially appreciate the green marble. Usually, I was digging in water just above my waist but lots of deeper holes all around me.. This was limiting how deep I could dig, even when I did find gravel. In my first sieve of the day up popped the premolar in lower right. Because of the size, I immediately thought it was deer. But I am frequently wrong, more so than I would like. It has an APL of 14 mm. and 3 roots.. I looked at deer first. I thought this would be premolar 1. But it was not deer. and that is exciting. I LIKE finding fossils I can not identify initially. After searching TFF and the internet for a while, I came upon one of @Harry Pristis great pictures. It is amazing that such a big animal has such a small tooth. This is a nice find , especially at the size. Next up a small Mako and a Dolphin... A layer of the Dolphin enamel has been stripped from one side. But the rugose nature of the remaining side enamel would seem to confirm Dolphin. I do not have many dolphin teeth like this and I am pleased to get this one. Then a small bone that has some unusual features and I will try to Identify. This is all about 1) I like to identify my finds so that I will recognize them the next time I see one. This bone might be a Calcaneum, but I am unsure. Finally , a large incisor... I was initially thinking Llama, but there are some features that do not quite match, so I went looking at Horse, Bison, Cow... and found little to change my initial opinion... The shape of the tip seems to be Llama ( Hemiauchenia macrocephala) but I have not seem similar curving folds of the lingual edge, and the rest of the incisor seems more similar to Equus than to Llama. but for the moment , I'll stick with Hemiauchenia. These are good finds, I had very successful day. It was nice to be in the Peace River again. It took me a while to prepare this post. Likely will get to describing Wednesday finds tomorrow. All comments welcome and appreciated.
