Attempt 2 for organizing queries regarding Peace River fossils from 26/12/23. I've set the fossil on 1cm grid paper, included a 1cm ruler underneath (or is the mm side better? my ruler has both, so easy change), and used my husband's newer iPhone to try to get a sharper image. I realize some bits are still blurry/dark and have tried to play with filters to get them as sharp as possible. Please let me know if this is heading in the right direction. These are all images of the same fossil, so I haven't done any numbering/labeling on the images. I believe this is an alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) osteoderm due to the deep 'pock' marks. Confirmation or correction would be much appreciated! Cheers!

Greetings! First post, so please do let me know if I'm not following any formatting conventions etc. correctly. My family recently went on a fossil hunt with Fossil Recovery Exploration on the Peace River in Arcadia, Florida. We had a great time with our guide, Sean; he was super patient, hard-working, friendly and knowledgeable. We got upgraded to an air-boat ride due to weather conditions and because of some other factors ended up being out on the water for almost 5 hours! My four year-old daughter was a trooper, but by the end when it was time for identification she was d.o.n.e. Sean went through with us quickly and got rid of the rocks we had mixed in the bucket, but didn't have time to closely identify every single object, particularly the more obscure pieces. So, I'm posting here in the hope that I can get some help in identifying my "TBD pile"! I have an iPhone 10, so did my best with the photos. My husband has a macro lens on his good camera, so can try that if some photos are too unclear. I will give my thoughts based on what else we found and identified, some guide sheets I've looked at, and what I've come across trawling through posts on the forum. 1: base of ice age deer antler (due to the three rounded protrusions in a line) 2.1-2.8: Shells? I found some whole bivalves that were definitely shells (confirmed by guide), but these look a bit different, especially given that the underside/inside isn't concave as I would expect a shell to be. Could they be bony fish parts? 3.1: toe bone (due to the 'pinched' part at the top)? 3.2-3.3: no idea 3.4: ear bone (due to the swirls visible in picture 3B)? 4.1-4.2: newer bone? these pieces are more of an amber-ish colour and 4.1 is very brittle. 4.3: large ray mouth plate (due to pronounced ridges)? But in photo 4D there is clearly spongy bone...so I don't know what impact that has on whether or not it's a ray mouth plate. 4.4: bony fish vertebra (due to circular shape visible in picture 4C)? 5: bony fish skin (due to many little bumps; I saw a much large piece with similar bumps that had been identified, but not sure if it's possible to tell from as small a piece as I have) 6.1: vertebra (due to inverted heart shaped noted in photo 6E) 6.2-6.3: broken teeth with root (they don't have the same enamel layers that I see on my confirmed horse/camelid/mastodon-mammoth teeth, though) 7.1-7.2: rocks that our guide missed? 7.2 has a a very smooth curve, though; maybe something man-made? 7.3: snail/worm trace? Thank you for reading my post!

The following were found in Sarasota County, Florida (USA) on public land eroding out of berms. They appear to be plio/pleistocene. Using the forum and several books, I've ID'd the best that I can. I'm looking to confirm the ID's. Any and all assistance is appreciated. 1. Turritella acropora 2. Arca wagneriana 3. Eucrassatella speciosa 4. Terebra dislocata 5. Carditamera floridana or arata 6. Terebra aclinica 7. Cantharus multagulus 8. Anadara brasiliana 9. Strombus floridanus 10. Unknown Strombus

Picked this small bone out of my Sieve a week ago. Rolled it around in my hand. Seemed unbroken, so I kept it. Seems unbroken on all edges; An outside layer over porous bone; Articulation facet on proximal end. Fauna which I find frequently at this location is Giant Armadillo, Glyptodont, Alligator. Less frequently is Bear, Sloth, Dolphin. I will check out those fauna and others tomorrow, unless eliminates the check for a fauna because they know the fauna does not match. Please comment on any additional fauna I should check. Thanks, Jack

Hello, Can anyone please help me identifying the attached item? It’s about 2cm long and appears to be a fossilized tooth of some sort. Thank you. Jon

I do a lot of Internet searches. At one of the per_pay land hunting sites, these photos were posted in mid December 2023. I think it might be a Goniodelphis hudsoni jaw segment with 6 teeth. @Boesse Just sharing and asking for any comments and suggestions . To me, this is a fantastic find... Some comments from Bobby in this thread https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/129508-iniid-tooth/ A PDF reference from Calvert Cliffs After years of never recognizing these ODD teeth, I have even found a couple: Do these match the ones in the Jaw... ?

Hello my name is Trey and I’ve been a very casual collector in north Florida for most of my life from the Suwannee River and a nearby phosphate mine. I recently found what I think is a sizeable piece encased in limestone in the banks of the Suwannee River. I use it as a display in my house but I’m just curious as to what it may be how old it could be and what it might be worth. Any info anyone could provide would be very much appreciated. I can provide more pictures if needed.

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.

Went hunting yesterday. There were not many choices with the water deep and currents fast. I was pleased to know that @Balance was out there dealing with the same conditions. It was cool but not cold with a 5 mm wetsuit on. I went back to a spot I had been digging over months because I believed it would be chest deep. I had intermittent downpours with the last ending around noon. I covered the cockpit of my Kayak with a tarp made expressly for that purpose. Everything else into hatches. The lowest water was chest deep so I could only dig down 6 inches or so. It was enough. In the 2nd sieve , I got a Tridactyl horse periotic, likely Nannippus. 32 x 19 mm, One for your local disk, Jp Even though fewer keepers based on the water depth, some very nice unique finds: A Glyptodon edge osteoderm, Alligator tooth, a few nice Tiger and Bull shark teeth. Here are some for comments and ID A shark vert, largest I have ever found. I found one that looks the same , only smaller 4 months ago. Curious that I have found 3 at this location and no different looking shark verts. Although very difficult to identify individual shark verts this one seems most similar to Hammerhead, I find a few but not many, Hammerhead teeth. A couple of broken fossils that I am not sure of 1. Stingray dermal 2. Alligator osteoderm A tooth fragment: Even the broken , are interesting

Hi all, Hwlp with id. please:-) The first photo shows what are Hystrivasum locklinii and horridum I believe. They are all from the APAC/Newburn Pit, Sarasota, Florida, collected by E. Dunlop on January 2, 1984. I think the next three scallops are all Chesapecten jeffersonius, but not 100% sure. They were all collected from Rice's Fossil Pit in Hampton, Virginia, in August 1964 by M. Fuldner. All shells are from the Miocene. I hope someone can help me. I never got a response the last time I posted a few years ago about sharks teeth:-( Thanks, Andrew

Hello, All 🙂 Found this sitting on the riverbed while crossing a shallow section a month ago or so. Same spot I found a bovid cervical vert trip Before. Tossed it in the boat as a modern cow thoracic to identify “which one”. Saved it for a day when the temps cold and the water is up. That’s today, only problem is I can’t find a vertebra with a fork in it to save my life. Cow, horse, camel , oxen… no forked thoracic. Can bovids of different breeds have different vertebrae characteristics? Is this not a thoracic vert? Where too next?? its 7.5” long and 3” wide with the broken piece added back into the measurement. That’s 187mm ish long… Peace River , Florida modern thru Miocene Thanks for any insight or suggestions. Appreciate the feedback Jp
