I am new to this forum so I apologize if this post is incorrect in anyway. We found some new bones we are unfamiliar with in the Peace River in Arcadia, Florida we’d like some input on. The first bone has a weight of 1,028 grams and the second bone has a weight of 203 grams to give a complete picture of their sizes. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for looking!

Greetings, I am working on my next display and am trying to sort through the various pieces of turtle shell. I have attempted to divide and label them as much as I can, using references I will post. This is my first attempt at turtle shell and have relied entirely on examples and available resources, so any correction/confirmation/explanation would be most appreciated. On my paper (in case it's unreadable - tendonitis flaring up so handwriting quality going down), the upper half of the page is carapace, the lower half is plastron, the left half is softshell and the right half is hard shell. I included a composite image which has better focus on each quadrant (terrible lighting today), and a larger image on which I wrote my attempts at further identification. References: This whole thread: This image (location directly on image): This image was very helpful: And these hand-drawn diagrams I found to be most accessible:

Attempt 2 for organizing queries regarding Peace River fossils from 26/12/23. I've set the fossil on 1cm grid paper, included a 1cm ruler underneath (or is the mm side better? my ruler has both, so easy change), and used my husband's newer iPhone to try to get a sharper image. I realize some bits are still blurry/dark and have tried to play with filters to get them as sharp as possible. Please let me know if this is heading in the right direction. These are all images of the same fossil, so I haven't done any numbering/labeling on the images. I believe this is an alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) osteoderm due to the deep 'pock' marks. Confirmation or correction would be much appreciated! Cheers!

Where the heck is Nocatee?! Greetings from a small town about 10 minutes south of Arcadia. I have been kind of messing around fossil hunting on the Peace river for a couple of years now and have decided to get serious since I am addicted. We have about 1100 acres of land on the river that includes about three miles of the river. We have ag land for cows as well as land for hunting. We even put our own ramp in to the river! I look forward to learning from all of you and will be on the river later today!

These were found on my property on the river just south of Arcadia. I have absolutely no clue what these are. Everything else I was able to identify. The smaller tooth I found is the first one I've found that is that curved. The larger tooth is unique to me because of the fact that it is concave, which I tried to show in the pictures. Finally the mammal tooth I have had trouble figuring out. Maybe baby mammoth? Thanks in advance guys!

I'll be on the river today and the rest of the weekend south of 760 (Nocatee) . If you see me stop and say hi! We'll be staying on our property mostly but can travel if needed.
