Managerie Of Fossils


pdanker1

Recommended Posts

I am happy to get one unique piece each time I go. Peace River Wauchula. Go to Youtube pdanker1 to see all about 6-26-11 trip, 4 hundred pieces?. Have bone frags, 10% turt-toise, 10ea. herbiore tooth frags, 25% shark maybe 10% of that in excellent shape. And then these pictured here. I am new to this 2 months. It is addicting. "like a box o' choc'lates".

......................MY GUESSES............>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

1 jaw (fossil??)

3 little scutes

2 herbivore teeth

1 (maybe canine) tooth if not gator or croc It does have a gum line.

2 unkown and will probably stay that way

2 crushers or underside of baby turtle

1 (maybe)sawfish

1 snake or small mammal rib bone

Hope I am not becoming a nuisance. I hope to be able to identify these someday just as you all can now...

You should blow up the picture to make identification easier. Upper left almost certainly Horse fragments. Above the jaw (not fossil) is gator and 2 ray dermal denticles, in front of Jaw is a deer molar, and lower right is possibly a puffer mouth plate.

Welcome to addiction . I love the peace --

Here is another Puffer fish mouth plate.. same fossil but different lighting

Big piece of advice -- Search the forum for what you have found -- both the Content Search and Gallery Search. SO, type in Deer molar and see what comes up.

The two peg-like teeth in the upper left appear to be whale teeth.

The jaw belonged to a recent raccoon. The tooth anterior to the jaw is a deer cheek tooth, as suggested by 'Shellseeker.'

I discourage group images because of the wasted space. It's usuall better to post a cropped image of a single fossil (or two or three, if they are small items).

Thank You Harry Pristis. I in the future will take your advice to better manage the site.

I believe the first tooth is a Tapiris veroensis cannine...

The Jaw looks like it may be from an opossum?

Awesome Finds btw! :D
