Gainesville Florida Fossil Identification

[Frightmares]

Started going through some of my older finds and thought I’d try to identify some of them. These are all found in Gainesville, Florida creeks.

 

First one is just a chunk of bone, not sure if it’s even identifiable. My guess is part of a scapula because it’s somewhat flat and curved.  Second is a small bone, maybe a carpal of some sort? And third, I’m thinking is a partial alligator tooth. I can see a small bit of enamel left on it, but the enamel seems to have some ridges on it which is confusing.

First one is a chunk of bone that will be tough to ID beyond that.  Yes, it is flattish so maybe scapular, but could also be part of a hip and probably several other things. 

 

Second one looks sort of like a worn, beat up alligator tail vertebra to me, especially in that first picture of it.

The enamel on at part of tooth looks a lot like the enamel on this sperm whale tooth i found in mixed Neogene deposits in Antwerp, Belgium. Also the conical shape and inside seem to match whale.

Alligator tooth?  Half anyway….
