Hi everyone I’m very new to this and recently got two fossils that I’m hoping some of you may be able to help recognize. The first is a black bone found I believe in the ocean off Florida. I was told it was a deer humerus but looking at a modern deer humerus I’m not so sure. Could be deer just different bone? The other was one is the lower jaw bones of what I was told may be from a rabbit or rodent. Looking in a fossil book I’m thinking it’s possibly a beaver based on teeth. Old but not a fossil I’m thinking since it’s not stone? Regardless of what they are I think they’re pretty great so any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

From the album: Miocene, Maryland and Virginia, USA
The inner hoof core or toe bone from a deer. Not Miocene in age but old. Exact age unknown. Calvert cliffs state park -
From the album: FOTM - Bone Valley Formation, Florida, USA
A Blancan species found in a Pliocene location, likely a m1 or m2 -
Deer? tooth from Pleistocene Florida (As good as the location gets). On college ruled paper, each line is 7.1 mm

I was going through my collection today, as I got some nice display stands that I was beginning to put to use, and remembered this fossil, found around Steinhatchee, Florida, I hope I spelled that right. I was thinking Camelid, but normally those seem to be section into 4, not 2, thoughts? (About 3/4 of an inch, almost 2cm)

We found this nice tooth on the Kaw River (Kansas) this past summer. Permian glacial material has been found there. When we found it, we assumed that it was from a camel. I’m not so sure anymore, as it has a stylid, and resembles a white tailed deer tooth we found, only much larger. Any ideas?

Hello I came across these in Gonzales County in southeast Texas. This stream is along a known peat bog site and I thought these resembled maybe deer or horse bones. Thank you.

This is a recent beach find from an offshore Pleistocene formation. After researching, it appears to be a white tail deer premolar. It looks like the p3 in @Harry Pristis photo. It seems large for a whitetail, and it looks worn down as in the reference photo. The scale is centimeters. What do you all think? @Shellseeker, @Meganeura.

Almost everything was found yesterday at Peace River (FL). I’m still new to fossil hunting. I do my research but still need help - there’s a lot to learn. TIA for anyone who takes the time to let me know what I’ve got here! In order, I think I have: -Deer ankle bone -Scapula? Turtle shell? -Glyptodont scutes -Horse/camel incisor? -Manatee/dugong tooth? -Shells (I know nothing about these but love these two-wanted to share) -Gator/plant? Pattern is only on one side -Deer tooth? -Camel/deer tooth? -Stumped - too many teeth look too similar…tapir? -Recent shark tooth finds (contents of the final picture were found on land in Sarasota county and not at the river) I think that’s more than enough for now I have quite a few horse/bison/camel/llama/etc teeth that I also need help differentiating, but I want to try a little more before asking for help. Any good charts/info that help point out differences in these would be greatly appreciated! Adding some pics of recent shark tooth finds just for the fun of sharing. If you see anything special (rare/pathos/etc) that I need to know about, please let me know! Again, thanks in advance for all the help! Any ideas appreciated - if better pics/measurements are needed, just ask

Hey everyone! Posting on behalf of a friend who isn’t on TFF - he found this very small jaw section with a tooth in it in the Gainesville area. It looks like a deer tooth to me - but I’ve never seen a deer tooth this small. The crown length is 0.25”/6mm. @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis

I also had a good day on the Peace River, FL this past Monday. Topped off by a chance meeting with @Shellseeker Jack. I wanted to share the best of what I found that day. I was lucky to find a gravel patch while prospecting in an area I haven't hunted before. The results (minus the usual various shark teeth)- Right side of photos: 2 - Glyptodont osteoderms 2 - partial Armadillo scutes Left side: 1 - partial limb bone (deer?) 2 - Turtle leg spurs Left center: Partial deer antler Camel teeth Tilly Bone Right center: Mammoth tooth root Mastodon tooth crown Definitely enough to warrant a return visit next week (if the weather holds!)

Finding the three-toed horse tooth from my first trip really inspired me, so I made the long drive back to a spot I found along the Brazos River. Despite the treacherous route down the bank and mile long journey to the far end of the sandbar, I was not discouraged. I don't usually look for things from this time period, so almost anything I'd find would be a personal first which added an extra layer of enthusiasm to the hunt. The weather was nice and various recreational planes flew about in the sky. Although the Brazos water isn't the prettiest sight to behold, the carved cliffs and southeastern greenery made up for it in terms of aesthetics. Using the information I had gathered from my first trip, I didn't waste any time in heading straight for the far end of the sandbar, where heavier materials seemed to accumulate. The hunting was a bit sparser than I would have liked, but I think that's probably just how it is around this area. Though I didn't find anything too crazy, I still managed to gather an assortment of interesting pieces that I would like to learn more about. I believe most of my specimens are on the more common side of things. I probably won't come back for a long time due to my temporary moving back to DFW for the summer, but I do plan on once again making a return in the future as I feel like this site has potential for amazing things. By the way, the exposures in the area include the Beaumont Clay and Lissie Formation along with various things washing down from Miocene strata upriver. Anyways, here is an overview of my best finds from the trip: And here are some closeups and descriptions: A: Definitely a horse tooth, probably Equus. It's got some hard matrix attached to the chewing surface and other parts of it. I tried to pick it off with a needle, but with little success. I'm guessing it's about Pleistocene in age. Not the coolest of finds, but I still like it quite a bit since it's my first Equus ever. Not sure if it's IDable given the matrix covering it. B: I'm really hoping this is a piece of mastodon tooth, but I'm about 90% sure it isn't. Superficially, I think there is a resemblance in terms of shape. It is conic and filled with crystal in the center. Visually looks like the point of a mastodon tooth got sliced in half. However, the outer part, which should be enamel, just seems like some other material. The outside reminds me of some sort of shell from a Cretaceous deposit. In pic 3, there is an interesting pattern on the left side of the fragment (like boxes). I'm not sure what the significance of such patterning is, but I think this may be recognizable to someone out there. C: A little mineralized lower jaw fragment. I believe it to be deer. D: I think this is a bit of turtle. It's got a bit of sandstone matrix on the bottom side. E: Deer astragalus? F: Strange black piece of bone. It's unlike the mammalian stuff I've seen before. Could it be reptilian or amphibian? In pics 2 and 4, there seems to be a rugose texture on one side. G: Don't know if this is IDable. It is mineralized and has some unique features that might make it diagnostic. H: Deer metatarsal? As always, let me know if you would like any extra closeups. Thanks for reading!
