Original Ryan Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I found these 2 fossils when using a brand new mask and snorkel in the Suwanee river. First time find a fossil, was not even looking for them when i found the first one. Found within 10 min of each other. Thanks for any help Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorman Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 one is a piece of turtle shell and the other is a shark tooth which kinds I am not sure someone should be able to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Well is it at least an old piece of turtle shell. Well, it's pretty colored-up, which means it's not brand new, but how old is tough to determine (the water in some of those rivers is so full of minerals that it doesn't take millions of years for things to look like that). The shark's tooth looks like it's from some kind of "sand-tiger", and it's plenty old.
