I returned yesterday to the same spot we hunted last Thursday.  The shallow water limits access to many of our other spots. I like hunting deeper water 4-5 feet is excellent. 

Mostly small shark teeth but I can enjoy them also..

 A worn lower Hemi,

Quite a few Tiger sharks.. including this symphyseal ?

Bulls/Dusky are common most spots but this was the only one I recalled

Then this unusual Armadillo Osteoderm.  As first , it was hard for me to see how it connected to the rest of the carapace.

But I guess there is an edge on the right photo here. This is a pretty unusual shape.

Among the fragments,  a Fish Vertebra that I believe I have seen before but need a little time to track down...

and finally,  I had hunted the same spot last Thursday and found a very strange bone..

I asked for a Fossil ID but no responses yet,  and yesterday this very similar bone (on the right).

On Thursday's, I temporarily thought Axis Vert fragment but I am unsure that the texture of the bone is marine mammal. I will post additional photos on the 05/16/2024 Fossil ID Thread. https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/141849-peace-river-05162024/#comment-1493215

Great teeth as always, and love the osteoderm.

Great haul! Especially that possible tiger symphyseal tooth! Hoping to hit the peace river myself one day.

I'm green with envy! Nice haul.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

I knew that small Fish Vert Fragment looked familiar..

In October 2021,  Found this at a Pliocene site:  Never managed to ID to species.  It is bony fish osteichthyes superclass comprise 95% of fish species.
