Hello — I would love your help IDing these shark teeth: #1 — I think it symphyseal, perhaps P contortus. 10mm in length. From the Peace River of FL. #2 — Rather unsure about this one. Seems somewhat like a lemon shark tooth, but if I had to guess I would go with I retroflexus. 12mm long. From the Peace River of FL. #3 — New to me. Just under 3mm in length. From a creek in Summerville, SC. If I had to guess I would say a member of the Triakidae (hound sharks). As I understand it, this would be fairly unusual for SC, but this clade is attested for this locality in the literature https://bioone.org/journals/acta-palaeontologica-polonica/volume-53/issue-3/app.2008.0306/New-Fossil-Triakid-Sharks-from-the-Early-Eocene-of-Prémontré/10.4202/app.2008.0306.full. No idea about species or genus! Cheers!

I am going to be in Florida for the next few weeks. I was wondering if any Forum members might want to meet up to do some collecting. I have collected the Peace a few times but do not have that much experience with river collecting. Feel free to reach out to me if interested. I should have access to a few kayaks.

Hi all! I'm back with what I hope is a helpful video for an ID. The guide thought it was a mastodon tooth. My apologies - I only have an imperial ruler and do not own a printer to print a metric ruler. THERE ARE VIDEOS FOR ADDITIONAL UNIDENTIFIED FOSSILS IN THE COMMENTS. Tooth #1 Tooth1.mp4

One video is in this initial post, several more are below as comments! I was struggling with pictures (IDs were all over the place and I don't have the experience to know enough about perspectives to capture nuanced features), so I just took videos of them all. If there's a surface you'd like a better view of, I'm happy to take another picture or video. Please specify which would be more helpful. I've also thrown the tour guide's ID in when available. #1 NoIdea.mp4

Peace River - Wauchula, FL (Misc. + bonus tiny Jacksonville Beach, FL shark teeth)
Hurricanerin posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi friends! I recently took a trek to the Peace River and went in in Wauchla, FL. I would love some help identifying what I found. I still need to photograph all of the shark teeth I found in the Peace River, but there is a pic of a few teeny tiny teeth I found in Jacksonville Beach, FL. I numbered things since there are so many. Thank you so much for your help! .- 8 replies

Hello, hope everyone is doing well here on the geology channel. Found these in the peace river in Florida, US. was hoping someone could shed some light on these two items. The numbers are from my trip journal entry so I apologize that they are randomly numbered here. Thanks Jp What type of rock is this? Basically these grab my eye as fossils or teeth and when wet they are even more deceiving. As you can see inside is pure and it’s encased in this darker shell. Any info would be appreciated. It’s actually pretty neat but I’d also like a name to call out before I cus at it and throw it back out next time. Im calling it “pound cake” geology for now. Beautiful Strange There are lots of these. Finally decided to bring one home and investigate. Couldn’t cut it with a masonry disc and grinder so I just popped it with a hammer. Any ideas? raw and polished out - last image shows the texture and finish of the stone after fracturing and without any polishing.

Hello all, These are some fossils I have found during my previous expeditions to the Peace River. I have provided details on what I think two of them could be. Confirmation or correction of the IDs would be appreciated! Fossil #1: I believe this fossil to be a portion of a scapula. I have included the image on the left of a partial woolly rhino scapula (https://www.online fossil retailer.com/fossils/woolly-rhinoceros-scapula-bone-partial-late-pleistocene) as a visual comparison for the fossil on the right. Again, just a visual reference. I am not sure about the species. Are there any diagnostic features that could indicate what it could be? I have also annotated the images with the blue arrow pointing to the glenoid cavity and the red circle indicating the location of the supraglenoid tubercle (which I believe is missing from my specimen). Again, this is assuming that it is a partial scapula, which it may not be. Fossil #2: I believe this one could be a partial pelvic bone (specifically a portion of the acetabulum). Are there any features that could help identify the species? Fossil #3: I am not sure what this one is, so any identification assistance would be appreciated. Back View Front View Bottom View Top View Right View Left View ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Any assistance is appreciated. Also, I would like to apologize in advance if I have incorrectly used any of the anatomical terms. I'm still trying to learn some of the vocabulary. Thanks again and Happy Fossiling

I may get another hunting trip before 2024, but possibly not. It will be tough to match this one on Volume and diversity. The smaller shark teeth were numerous, including 4 broken Megs .. late in the day found an almost complete one. When there are a lot of bones in the sieve. I limit myself to the best 3 , usually ones I do not recognize. I always think I'll have time later to attempt an ID. We'll see, On the lower left , one of the better Dugong Vert process I have found. There are a couple of Mastodon tooth fragments, a Mammoth fragment that might be a spit tooth and a piece of Bark ivory in lower left. a Bovid tooth that might be a broken m3, a Paramylodon harlani lower left caniniform and some interesting horse teeth. Add in a whale Vert, tortoise osteoderm and dolphin bulla that showcase the diversity of the fossils available in the river. The Peace River is relatively low right now , but will get lower. One advantage is the depth at which I dig. Due to a problem with my lower back, I enjoy hunting deeper water. Today I was digging fossils from nearly 6 feet below the river surface, and frequently I had to hold my breath to keep the river from flowing in. It is a technique I developed over the years. A reason that these fossil spots have continued productivity is that they are unavailable to hunt with normal techniques most of the year. Some closer photos of a few fossils. I was hunting alone today and based on experience, I do not have to worry about gators whenever I am wearing my 5 mm wetsuit. When I am chilled, the gators want nothing to do with me or anyone else. Just recording the finds, and sharing as I try to do with every hunting trip... Jack

I was hunting yesterday and post a trip report: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/138017-peace-river-hunt/ I did not think I had anything that I either needed or could ask for an ID, but then this bone "talked" to me. It seems that it is not a long bone, but mostly complete (96%) and about a size to be interesting.. That means there is a reasonable chance some TFF member will recognize. It could be a toe bone like a metapodial, tarsal, carpal, of a pretty large animal like Sloth or Rhino. At 1st I thought it might be a Calcaneum but a Jaguar Calcaneum which I found is much larger. I have also seen similarities to Sea Turtle or Dolphin humerus... So it could be a lot of things. I'll have a long time tracking each possibility down. It is from an mammal or reptile that lived and died near the Peace River. I hope some members can eliminate some of the possibilities. Top: Bottom (opposite to top) Left side Right side Left end Right end Help greatly appreciated. As the topic implies... a curious short bone

I frequently return to interesting locations to hunt, so I have a history over time of what is available. and I note differences between the locations on the Peace River. I was out Sunday, We started at one location and spent 2 hours hunting... Always find shark teeth but that is quite a bit of time for so few teeth. I like the small bit of coral... likely could be Identified from the corallites. Note the number of Hemipristis serra and G. mayumbensis. I always wonder about the age of the fossils I find, even though I realize the Peace River is a washing machine of different aged fossils. So I think about just how old is the location that contains these teeth. I always have a lot of time to think while digging for fossils... Here is an interesting thread from TFF experts on G. mayumbensis.. Giving the low number of finds, we decide to move about 100 yards down stream... Definitely better, more finds but note the number of H. serra and G. mayumbensis. That is a LOT of Mayunbensis !!! more than I have found in any Peace River location in a day of hunting over 15 years... Note the whitish roots and colored blades right out of the Peace River. There is a single small P. contortus directly above the row of Mayumbensis. Above the shark teeth are 5 broken pieces of Stingray mouth plate, a possible broken Crocodile tooth, and a fish Vertebra. Top row on the left.... Some Sea Urchin spines, Sawfish Rostral teeth and one of my favorites I found this piece last spring, 50 feet away and finally a couple of fossils that might not be marine based... Likely Giant Armadillo or Glyptodon, but unrecognizable... and finally Unsure here, I usually associate this texture of bone with marine mammal, but the underside make it look like turtle, maybe sea turtle. Lots of questions, some hints, few answers... Enjoy

Hi all! Went to the Peace river for the 1st time on Thanksgiving break, had a blast, am going to write a trip report soon. But these 4 bones are stumping me as to what they could be. Everything found was in the lower Peace. The finds are numbered for convenience. Thanks in advance for any help and guidance! 1) in my research, this looks like a camel unciform bone, but I wanted to ask around to make sure 2) my gut tells me this could be bison something, but I have no idea what part of the bison skeleton it is, if there's some anatomy resources available let me know. 3) this bone was dense, it's probably unlikely to ID, but I wanted to rule out Mammoth or not. 4) lastly what is probably yet another horse/bison frag. This one was annoying to figure out.

Lots of fun finds from my last trip to the river! Can anyone tell me more about this tooth? I haven’t seen a mako with a curve and cusp like that before. What am I looking at? Thanks! :)
