Fossildude19 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Welcome to the Forum. Your first item is a stingray barb. Can't help with the others - someone will be able to, though.

Rustdee Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 First item looks like a stingray barb. Second looks like a barnacle. Not too sure about the last one. Great finds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Cropped and brightened some of your photos: Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

ynot Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 The first and second items are barbs from a ray. Third item is a barnacle-- probably not a fossil(?) Forth is maybe a fish tooth plate or a bone fragment. Picture is hard to see. Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdpaulhus Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 As you have them numbered, both one and two are sting ray tail spines. #1 is just more worn. I agree that #3 is a barnacle, but I am not entirely sure it is not more recent. No idea on #4. The Florida Museum of Natural History offers a fossil ID service and you can send photos or even bring it in to them.

caldigger Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Is that last one wet? I think we are getting a lot of reflection from the water. It would also help to have better natural light on it. Maybe take a shot outside in natural light and have it dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontom Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I agree with everyone else on the first 3. It's hard to tell from the pics but the 4th ones looks like a puffer fish mouth plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossiling Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I would think that the third object is a horn coral. Keep looking! They're everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissa318 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Horn corals are not found in FL. Definitely barnacle on that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lissa318 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Wild guess on the 4th one... Could it be a broken and really worn bulla??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I am having a hard time seeing No 4, but could it be a peccary tooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Yes, We do need better pictures of the 4th object!! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
