PrehistoricFlorida Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 It is definitely not turtle. It looks to be a large bear. www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmorefossil Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 You don't owe anyone an apology. Most people here are learning, me included. You input is just as important as anyone else's. Don't let this one incident deter you from posting. no it wont, sometimes critism is the best thing for one person to get, becasue if your wrong 90% of the time and you dont know it how are you going to learn anything.

Mango Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Looks like a big carnivore to me. But, I can't tell for sure if the tip is flattened side-to-side. I took a couple of shots from different angles. Sorry about the greasy hands. I am taking a break from working on my truck.

I think 'Auriculatus' was correct when he surmised bear.

Oh-Man Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Chuck, Thanks again for taking me and Doug on the trip! That looks pretty cool. If it's bear that would be really awesome. Oh-man What is geology? "Rocks for Jocks!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Chuck,Thanks again for taking me and Doug on the trip! That looks pretty cool. If it's bear that would be really awesome. Oh-man It was great meeting and hunting with you both. Please give Doug the credit for this find. I don't remember putting it in my bucket. I will be sure to put his name in my log book. My first bear part. I love firsts. Thank you for all the id help. Pentax Optio W60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh-Man Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 So the next question is... "how rare is bear???" What is geology? "Rocks for Jocks!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrehistoricFlorida Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Well, it is probably the most common carnivore of the Pleistocene in Florida (may be tied with dire wolf). But, it's still a carnivore claw... I would list a bear claw as uncommon, but not rare. www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
