Howdy! I found this fossil on a river bed last Fall in eastern Texas. I did a little research and it looks like this region is known for Eocene epoch fossils. I think its a vertebrae (or piece of a vertebrae) but can't seem to ID it beyond that. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Picked up the below bone a few weeks ago on a Peace River, FL hunt. My first impression was that it was a partial vertebrae. Second thought was a patella? After much searching I couldn't come up with a match that I believed was close enough to provide an ID. What I find most interesting is the protruding bump on one side and the corresponding indentation on the other. Maybe a tail bone? The specimen measurements: Inches = 3.75" long x 1.5" wide x 1.25" tall MM = 87mm long x 42mm wide x 38mm tall The ruler shown is MM.

I believe the below specimen is a partial vertebra. But if so, of what? Or is it just too broken to ID? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!

Found this bone on the Peace River, FL today. I was searching a new spot when several pieces of ivory tusk were found and I could feel some large bone material under water but was having trouble bringing it up. When it finally surfaced I first thought - vertebrae - and I am still leaning that way. It is approximately 6 3/4" x 6 3/4" x 5 1/4" and heavy. Question is, if vertebra - from what? I would appreciate any input, opinions, comments. Thanks. Also found there today was a tapir molar, mastodon and mammoth tooth fragments, horse teeth and many shark teeth.

I have four specimens I found yesterday in the Peace River, FL that I need some help with on a positive ID. First up is what I believe is a 4" fragment of a mammoth tooth with a long root? Next up a nicely colored Bison upper molar? I am hoping for an ID on the following Vert that I think is cetacean? Finally, what I first thought to be a vert when pulled from the river. I now have doubts due to the various indentations on the surface. I am pretty confident it is bone but not sure what. Looking forward to hear what others think!

I found this vert (?) in the Peace River last week and finally got some better pictures to post in hopes of a possible ID. I believe it is Cetacean and don't know if it is possible to id it any further due to the amount of deterioration caused by tumbling around in the river. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
