From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida
The third view of the mystery fossil. I don't know what this is, but is has an interesting texture. It was found in microfossil matrix gathered from a dredge spoil island near Merritt Island, Florida. The matrix is from the Melbourne Bone Bed (10,000 - 20,000 years old). Found in microfossil matrix gathered from a dredge spoil island near Merritt Island, Florida.-

Another view of the Hardhead Catfish otolith. -
Hardhead Catfish Otolith #1, Front (Arius felis)
PA Fossil Finder posted a gallery image in Member Collections
From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida
A fish otolith, probably from the Hardhead Catfish (Arius felis) but it also closely resembles a Gafftopsail Catfish otolith (Bagre marinus) from the Melbourne Bone Bed (10,000 - 20,000 years old). It's a rather angular fossil, so I used clay to position it for the photo. Found in microfossil matrix gathered from a dredge spoil island near Merritt Island, Florida. -

Another gar scale found in the microfossil matrix, but this time much more worn. This scale is from the Melbourne Bone Bed (10,000 - 20,000 years old). Found in microfossil matrix gathered from a dredge spoil island near Merritt Island, Florida. -

Another view of this gar scale. -
From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida
This is the largest gar scale I've found to date. It is from the Melbourne Bone Bed (10,000 - 20,000 years old). Found in microfossil matrix gathered from a dredge spoil island near Merritt Island, Florida. -
From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida
I think this is a Galeorhinus sp. shark tooth from the Melbourne Bone Bed (10,000 - 20,000 years old). Found in microfossil matrix gathered from a dredge spoil island near Merritt Island, Florida. This is the only identifiable tooth I've found in this matrix, and like most of the shark teeth I've found in this stuff, it is very worn.-

Unknown jaw from the Melbourne Bone Bed (10,000 - 20,000 years old). I don't know if it is from an amphibian, fish, or reptile, but I'm leaning towards fish. Found in microfossil matrix gathered from a dredge spoil island near Merritt Island, Florida.-

Another caecum from the Merritt Island spoil island. This is also probably another recent shell. -
From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida
Caecums are tiny gastropods that eat microscopic organisms that live on sand grains. This is from microfossil matrix collected from a dredge spoil pile near Merritt Island, Florida. This might be a recent shell, I've found lots of recent shells in this matrix.
