Got out to the Peace River, FL yesterday for another hunt. The water level finally seemed low enough that I would be able to get to my target spot and have a productive day. The only problem was the fact that the sun never came out and I had to quit early due to getting wet and cold with no way to warm up. Luckily I had my emergency dry shirt to change into before I started shivering! I always keep one on board the kayak sealed in a plastic bag. Came up with several of the usual items, horse tooth, partial megs, couple of hemis, turtle and a nice gator tooth. Then I pulled up what I believe are an armadillo scute, camelid incisor and a tiny dolphin tooth. The last three I am posting below for some help and/or confirmation on the ID. First a picture of the best of the day finds - Here is what I believe is the camelid incisor. From prior posts by @digit and @Shellseeker along with comparable pictures from @Harry Pristis I believe this is a large headed llama tooth, Hemiauchenia macrocephala. Both digit and Shellseeker found prior examples that they posted here on the forum along with Harry's pictures - One of @Harry Pristis examples: Next up is a small tooth I believe is dolphin. It is only 20mm long so is dolphin possible? Finally, what I have id'd as an armadillo dermal scute - Any help with confirmation or other possible id's would be appreciated, Thanks!
