New Members LXE1234 Posted November 28, 2023 New Members Share Posted November 28, 2023 Normally I’m just out grabbing shark teeth on Amelia. I’m getting decent at identifying the main common finds, but struggling with some of these odd shapes I see on and off. Hoping for some help learning about and identifying fossils. I’m a fossilnovice, so I apologize if this is just a collection of rocks lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 A and C look like rocks to me. B looks like bone or possibly an osteoderm. Fin Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 In a pristine state, a Giant Armadillo might generally look like this...

Cris Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Great job with the photos from different angles and labeling them A, B and C. If only ever new member seeking a fossil ID would make that effort, our jobs would be much easier here. I think A is a rock. B, I believe, may be a worn down piece of turtle shell. C probably are not fossils, but the Amelia Island area does get these things called tilly bones that are actually hyperostotic fish vertebrae. They can often look very similar to what is shown in C (the one on the left side, at least). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 My thoughts for C included phosphate nodules, and tilly bones. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
