Florida Gulf Coast Finds, 24 January 2024

[JonUte]

Hi, Everyone.  We found some more odd fossils yesterday and I decided to put a few out for identification.  I added a shot of all of them together next to a centimeter ruler for size and comparison, the rest are individual items.

 

One looks an awful lot like a pecan, but turned out to be a brown, striated stone.

 

As always, I’m here to learn.  Thanks.

It looks to me to be a coincidentally-shaped piece of fossilized bone, but I would really like to hear your opinions.

[JonUte]

Trying to identify this tooth.

[JonUte]

These look like pieces of mammalian tooth?

[JonUte]

Or maybe a different type of tooth?

[JonUte]

And finally; does this look like anything besides a weird rock?

[JonUte]

Or this…

[JonUte]

But this one really bugs me.

The hook shaped bone could be a water worn fossil crab claw of some type and I’m not sure about the shark tooth but it could be a Carcharocles Angustidens. But still researching online, just trying to be helpful

If you found them yesterday the title should read 2024, not 2023

Weathered section of a porcupinefish palatine.  There was a recent thread in Fossil ID with photos of the fish and a complete piece

Has a hyperostosed fish bone appearance

For us lay people, is that a recent fish bone with encrustations?

 

Thanks.

Excessive growth...more "swollen" than a normal bone
