Found these in creek with my son

[Pinellas Man]

I'm usually over on the Indian Artifacts topics but I found these today along with my son so I thought I would share the pics
At the top of the pic you will find petrified bones, a little lower on the right side you will see cracked stones that I find there frequently, on the left under th bones you see petrified wood. In the bottom left corner is a Indian artifact. To the right of the petrified there is a tooth and I don't what to make of the piece at the bottom right but it is petrified.

Here's a couple of closer shots of the tooth

And here's a pic of the mystery piece

Do some research there is money on that table. Good Luck.

In the group image: (top) sections of Pliocene dugong ribs.

Close-ups: Pleistocene horse (Equus sp.) upper cheek tooth. Fragment of turtle shell.

If you make yourself a sift box with hardware cloth, you should be able to find much more stuff. Good hunting!

I'll do that Harry, my son and I found these just walking down the creek, we didn't do any digging. Thanks for the info.

The first two closeups look like part of a broken off Parasaurolophus or Hadrosaur horn. They say they have "compartments" in them. But thats just a wish. I'm sure they were bigger than that or were they?
The second closeup, I am SURE is what you call a Ephemeral Marking: Ripples formed by water flowing over sand; etc. I've seen fossilized bird prints on a ledge of rock, with ripple marks from water around it. Cool!

Most of the bone frags look like Dugong or manatee rib bone, the "mystery piece" is either a croc scute or turtle shell. that stuff is really common in the rivers in Fl

I agree with Atticus.

killer horse tooth. I have a few spot for those as well. The bones look dugong rib to me I find them by the bucketloads down here. The bottom right is definatly turtle shell. Take your screen and go to the bends and dig and screen there.
