Just some Florida fossil hunting photos

[GatorBoy]

Nice teef.
Keep an eye out for darker more glossy pieces in that stuff sometimes you'll find small teeth that held together... sometimes from land mammals in my area... like rodents.. Or even small alligator or gar fish teeth you can see the enamel on it sometimes

You mean like this stuff

 

[GatorBoy]

Those pieces look like bone to me the first one without having a better photo to look at looks like a section of long bone or possibly part of the large land tortoise shell the second one looks like a worn down alligator tooth

Nice stuff Gatorboy. I haven't been lately but we did find a lot of fossilized clams last time out. I keep throwing them back. Then I saw yesterday on eBay people are selling them lol. I probably threw back a bushel.

 

[GatorBoy]

Haha... That's fleabay for you

 

[hunter2665]

You throw these back Gatorboy?

 

[GatorBoy]

I don't mean to make light of your find there but those fossil impressions of the interior of clam shells are all over the place by me.. Tons of those come out of bags of drain rock I use at work on occasion anywhere there's limestone really.
I don't find them in the Peace River fossil hunting very often those that you have are fairly nice as far as they go

 

[hunter2665]

Hahahahaha Gatorboy it's all good. I know there the interior if the clam. We'll not what I love eating as these were tough to chew lol. I figured they were all over the place. Hitting the shark tooth spots this weekend.

 

[GatorBoy]

Good luck

 

[hunter2665]

Wow nice. Ty

 

[hunter2665]

Hey Gatorboy. Have you ever found something like this. It's 1 big tooth about 1 1/4 " with two little teeth at the top. 1 pointing out left and the other right. Any help explaining this is appreciated very much.

 

[GatorBoy]

I think you have a scute from the tail end of this guy.
Glyptodont

 

[hunter2665]

Who is that guy lol

 

[GatorBoy]

What area of the country do you find that?
I was assuming Florida since you asked me

 

[hunter2665]

South ga. Almost into Florida.

Then I would stick with my thought I'm just looking at photos though
