Itching to go hunting today. For various reasons, normal hunting companions were not available. Decided to go to a place on the Peace River that is easy access, have not been there in a while , and mostly produces small colorful shark teeth from the Miocene and little else. I did find the colorful teeth, not as many or as pristine as previously. Note the silicified shell, urchin spines, and ray teeth. Add in silicified bone and a couple of times in the past , that is 100% of what I found. Very little mixing with Pleistocene fauna in this spot. A couple of years back I found a 2 inch blue Meg here hunting with my son and grandson.. The location carries good memories. A couple of gator teeth, a colorful Thresher, a mangled horse tooth... colorful, interesting fossils.. In my 2nd last sieve, I found what seems to be a Whale Vert. Maybe dugong. Will look at both.. But this is a Fossil ID thread... for a toe bone... Excited to find it.. Maybe a Pleistocene mammal fossil did float in here.. This toe bone "seems" familiar , I hope some one can match it to a mammal..

I was hunting in an area that might produce Miocene whale fossils and a little less likely Megalodons. I did find a dolphin or whale Vertebra. This type is very thin. and also a small Meg. So the location lived up to its reputation. But, I did not expect to find this broken mammal tooth: I almost tossed it, but got a glimpse of the inside enamel. Love that blue... Remember... Miocene... All suggestions and comments appreciated !!
