Another interesting piece found sifting could not throw it back
-
Found this sifting the river and trying not to keep everything. So whats that TIA
-
Have no idea what this could be or enough to even ID but like the way it looks. Peace River find.
-
What I believe is a fragment of a horse tooth if anyone has any ideas? have no idea about the jaw piece. whats that?
-
Couple questions if anyone could answer. The first is what I think is a pretty worn down horse tooth. Second one peaks my interest because I’ve found multiple of these things all different sizes but to me it looks and feels man made. Any ideas ? Have no idea on these next two. Any takers ?

Hello everyone, I found some mammal teeth on a recent trip to the Peace River. Help in identifying would be appreciated! Tooth #1 The first tooth I believe could be from a peccary; however, I know that peccary teeth are similar to wild boar teeth. Are there any indicators that would allow me to tell the difference? Tooth #2 I do not know the species this tooth comes from. Any ideas?

I found these in the peace River, I know the first one is a tooth from some mammal but don’t know what. Second I believe is a porcupine blowfish mouth plate? The third I think is part of a tooth but have no idea from what? Lastly I was wondering if anyone knew what bone fragment it’s from, it’s very smooth on one side.

Hello FF, Going through some past finds I have rediscovered two peace river finds that I have yet to identify, both were found near Arcadia (brownville i believe). My thoughts are cougar for the tooth and maybe glyptodont or horse for the jaw piece. thanks all! 1. The tooth 2. The jaw piece, only the one socket where a tooth would’ve been

Hey all! I found this on a recent trip to Peace river and still have been unable to ID it. I first thought it was a glyptodont tail spike but friends say it’s not “holey” enough. I don’t think it’s tortoise spur but may be wrong. Any help with ID is greatly appreciated! @Meganeura @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis @digit

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and have been enjoying learning from different posts that I have encountered. Without a doubt, I feel like my knowledge of fossils has already increased within this short time! I recently traveled to the Peace River in Florida and found some interesting fossils that I believe are medial phalanxes from two species. I am not entirely sure what species the fossils are from, so any help with identification would be much appreciated! Fossil #1 This fossil almost reminds me of a horse medial phalanx; however, it is relatively small (approximately 20 mm long). I have included images of the following: two of the side views (front row), top and bottom views (middle row), and front and back views (bottom row). What could this be? Fossil #2 From previous images that I have seen, this fossil looks like the medial phalanx of a large feline, but I am not sure of the species. Like the first fossil, I have included images of the two side views (front row), top and bottom views (middle row), and front and back views (bottom row). Thank you again and Happy Fossiling!

I had tossed all these together in my garage storage and just noticed, while I was looking for auction material, that they were not all Equus astragalus. Given their condition, can ID's for the bottom 3 be determined? I'm assuming Harry, @Harry Pristis, would be my best shot. I appreciate it!

Hello, I have these three fossils which I believe to be two pieces of vertebrae (one may be a piece of bone) and then a tooth of some sort. Found in the peace river, Florida. Thanks (I can also upload some closer photos if needed)
-
Found this in the Peace River here in Wauchula Florida. I can't seem to figure out if it's a tooth or a claw. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I recently found this particular bone in the Peace River. Is this just a large chunk of bone, or could it be something else? I thought it could possibly be a fragment of a sloth claw core, but again I'm assuming it is just normal bone until I can get more information. Any help in identifying it would be appreciated!

Found this in the local health food store today. Wonder if this is what is meant by “honey hole”!
-
I think these are fish teeth. Can that be confirmed and can any of them be identified further? Happy to provide additional view of any, if that would help. Grid lines are 1mm spaced. • Is T11 Chondrichthyan? • Could T12 actually be a stingray dermal denticle?

Is this a dasyatid tooth? It seems different from the others I'm finding in this micro matrix. Grid lines 1mm spaced.

Here's a drum fish tooth lodged in a curiously shaped piece of host matrix. Smooth, cylindrical with a potential spiral groove. What do y'all think? Grid lines are 1mm spaced.

In 2lbs of Peace River micro matrix, I found 415 shark teeth, of which 90 seem potentially identifiable. Here they are in different categories. Grid lines are spaced 1mm apart. I can get additional views of any teeth as warranted. A: Based on my experience with larger teeth, would call A1 as hammerhead. A2-A5 share many shape characteristics, but are they Rhizoprionodon? B1-B14 Carcharhinus, I believe. C1-C21 seem like lemon, Negaprion. D1, D2: posterior Galeocerdo tiger shark? E1-E5: These may all just be mostly-root fragments of Carcharhinus, and reflect a common pattern of breakage? But they were a "type" that emerged in the sorting. F1, F2: Snaggletooth G: This group contains a very common morphology I found, a blade with a single cusplet on the posterior side of the tooth. Most have roots that look broken. So maybe we're dealing with a lot of Carcharhinus that all broke in a similar way? Most of the blades show little or no sign of serrations, but maybe that's weathering (or juvenile teeth?). I am pretty unsure about these. G8 and G9 seem somewhat sand tiger like. Are many of these G teeth Rhizoprionodon? H: the odd singleton teeth. Some of these may be too weathered to ID. H1, H6 have similarities to some thresher teeth I have found. H2 seems potentially sympheseal H3 contortus? H7,8,9? lemon? too weathered to ID? H4 interesting cusplets, but I have little sense of ID H5 seems like it could be a sand tiger H10 lemon? H11 Carcharhinus with no serrations on the blade? H12 interesting, but ?? H13 interesting, but ?? H14 sand tiger? H15 thresher? H16 interesting, but ?? And for the sake of completeness, here are all the teeth I deemed not worth trying to ID: If you see anything worth closer inspection in there, I'll grab photos:

Here are a few pieces of Peace River Florida fossils that were included in some Shark teeth I bought online, one I thing is a Tilly bone? And the small vert is it fish or snake?
-
Been working the the Peace pretty hard this year and have some unknowns I'm trying to figure out. I'm about 3 years into this hobby and learning but can use all the help I can get. Thanks in advance!

In two lbs of Peace River micro matrix, I identified these 8 items as fish vertebrae (+1 discovered in the "coral" pile). Grid lines are 1mm apart. Are the bottom and right pieces on the lower row eroded shark (or ray) verts? I also sorted the item below into the vert pile, but upon photographing it, I became less sure. Instead of having a half-round profile when viewed end on, it was more linear, like a cannoli shell. Unfortunately, it popped out of my forceps before I could take photos of other orientations, and now it's lost forever. But on the off chance these two photos are enough for an ID, here you go:

Are these solitary corals? Grid lines are 1mm.

Hi all! I’m looking for some help identifying the specific animal this tooth came from. I know it’s camelid but that’s about it. Measurements are in last images. Let me know if you need more. Thanks!

[edit: TLDR: DD1-DD13 are denticles. Everything else is likely not.] Here are the candidate shark dermal denticles from my Peace River micro matrix sort (grid lines are 1mm): • DD1-DD13: quite certain in the ID, but can the species be identified? • DD14-DD19: Less confident about these more idiosyncratic specimens. DD16 might just be very worn, or possibly just a lookalike piece of phosphate. might DD17 be a steinkern? Its ridges seem shaped like the other denticles, but the material appears different. Additional idiosyncratic specimens, two orientations each. I am uncertain if they are denticles: • DD20 seems to have ridges, but texture is rough • DD24 has a promising profile, but ridges aren't obvious • DD23 has a rough "base," visible in the lower shot, and overall conical form. What do y'all think?
