Here are photos of my fossil finds from the now-closed Caloosa Shell pit in Ruskin, Florida. These were found over a period of years from around 1997 til 1999. Distal end of a Bobcat humerus Gator vertebrae Horse teeth (The largest tooth was not found by me. It was given to me by our guide, Mr. Frank Garcia, on a day at the mine when I pretty much found NOTHING but some scrappy bits of softshell turtle shell.) Giant ground sloth claw tip Giant armadillo armor plate
