Rita__ Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Just got back from Manasota Key, FL. Found a ton of teeth and fossils. It was awesome. Don’t want to put too much in one post but curious if any of these finds stand out ? Thank you in advance as always. #1 is almost identical on both sides and symmetrical #2 gives me tooth vibes… human tooth? 😳 hopefully not. #3 could be shell fragment but not sure ??? ??? ??? Are #7,8,9 Tilly bones? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jikohr Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Nice finds! #2 looks to be a mammalian incisor. I highly doubt it's human. Horse or camel would be my guess. #4 is a dermal denticle of a stingray. You know how on the back of some stingrays you see little spikes going down the middle of their back? This is one of those. #5 looks to be a concretion #7 is a stingray tooth #8 could be a Tilly Bone but I'm not familiar enough with them to say for sure. No idea on the others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 It is better to put the captions under each photo concerned, because here we are forced to scroll to know what you’re talking about.

Rita__ Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 @Coco noted. Will do that moving forward. Thank you for the feedback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) Really more convenient, thank you ! No. 2 reminds me of a worn tooth from the Miocene fish Diplodus jomnitanus, but it is not known what period your fossils belong to. For the 4th I confirm the ray dermal denticle. The 5 reminds me of a calcareous alga. Here some from "maerl" : For the rest I can’t help.

Rita__ Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 @Coco interesting! Especially about #2. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Neat finds! 5 is very cool! I also wondered about it being a calcareous algae at Coco suggested or I was wondering if perhaps its part of a shrimp burrow... Maybe under magnification you can tell what its made up of? Are they individual tiny angular or rounded sand grains cemented together? 8 does appear to be a pretty worn tilly bone with the bilateral symmetry and boney nature...I like it!

Rita__ Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 @Plantguy thank you! I’ll try to check #5 out under magnification. Interesting feedback! and I was hoping you’d chime in about #8! I’m getting a little better at identifying tilly bones. Still have a lot to learn. I really appreciate your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
