Found in Desoto County FL, in the Peace River. Just started fossiling and I'm high-key worried I may have just found a cool rock and not a fossil, haha. Help would be appreciated. Took the photos next to a pen for size and tried to get as crisp and well lit a photo as I could. Thanks in advance!

Recently found, very small, roughly 1.5 inches. Any ideas? Doesn't look like feline or canine. Thanks

Found a large chunk of bone while fossil hunting in Florida earlier this month. Found in a tributary to the Peace River near Arcadia. Not sure there is enough left to get a useful identification, but figured I would post and see how it goes. The chunk is roughly 5 x 4 x 2.5 inches, the grid underneath is quarter inch squares.

Finally managed to get out for a few hours when I visited Florida earlier this month. Walked in to a Peace river tributary where I got to spend a few hours shifting gravel while keeping an eye on the local wildlife. Was interesting how different the finds were when compared to the previous site which was about 25 miles further north. Nothing overly special, but was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Found a lot of bone fragments this trip, but no dugong which surprised me after my first experience. There were also fewer shark teeth this time around. Not sure what the big bone chunk in the upper left is from as there is very little of the surface left, but the fragment is 4 x 5 x 2.5 inches

Traveling to Florida to hunt for Shark Teeth/bone, insight on Peace River?
Kroy posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello I am setting a 4 day trip to Florida with my son to find Shark Teeth and bone mid March. He is a teenager and experienced; we did a Summer trip to Summerville, SC. We hear rains have Florida rivers and streams fairly high right now? We have never hunted for fossils in Florida; but are looking to areas along the Peace River and researched Arcadia may be a good central location? We are thinking of doing: * Day 1 - Excursion with a guide (allows us to familiarize us with the area; dos and don'ts) * Day 2 - Hit Peace River (I have some general ideas of locations, but could use help) * Day 3 - Try some adjacent Rivers (I have some general ideas of locations, but could use help) * Day 4 - Either repeat above if we have success, or try Casperson beach in Venice Any insights/guidance would be fantastic. Thank you! Ken- 14 replies

I've been put in charge by my parents to plan a day trip to the west coast of Florida with the intent of finding fossils (mostly 1/2'+ shark teeth) after searching through the internet i decided to try my luck at the peace river. i'm currently planning to dig in the vicinity of Morgan park (just west of town) and I'm Wondering the following 1. is this a good a good location any fossils easily?if not, what other locations on the peace river do you recommend? 2. how deep is the water there in early april? 3. are there any aligators to watch out for? 4. what is the likelyhod of a novice fossil hunter with alot of patience to find teeth of C. Megalodon, C. Carcharias, and Hemipristis serra? -
