2 1/4 by 1 5/8 Hardee and a 3 by 1 3/8 Thonotosassa found by me in Hillsborough County Florida. Both were found approximately at the same time. While I was digging I had a avalanche of sugar sand fall on me while scraping the walls; while I was removing pounds of dirt off my lap. Avalanches happened to me frequently but it's pretty cool when they literally fall in your lap.

Hardee:

Gorgeous material on both. Great photos as well. I see you chose daylight for one and special indoor lighting for the other.
The beveling on that classic Hardee is easy to see.
The Thonotosassa (great NA name!) I assume is made of a petrified wood?

The Thonotosassa is typical chert for the area. I'm not sure what it's actually called.
