New Members J. L. Irizarry Posted June 30, 2023 New Members Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and have been enjoying learning from different posts that I have encountered. Without a doubt, I feel like my knowledge of fossils has already increased within this short time! I recently traveled to the Peace River in Florida and found some interesting fossils that I believe are medial phalanxes from two species. I am not entirely sure what species the fossils are from, so any help with identification would be much appreciated! Fossil #1 This fossil almost reminds me of a horse medial phalanx; however, it is relatively small (approximately 20 mm long). I have included images of the following: two of the side views (front row), top and bottom views (middle row), and front and back views (bottom row). What could this be? Fossil #2 From previous images that I have seen, this fossil looks like the medial phalanx of a large feline, but I am not sure of the species. Like the first fossil, I have included images of the two side views (front row), top and bottom views (middle row), and front and back views (bottom row). Thank you again and Happy Fossiling! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 My best guess on these phalanges is: Tapir central proximal phalanx, and Tapir lateral proximal phalanx. 4 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
