      Without doubt for me the best ist the tapir jaw. I disagree with your no. 1, that was colateral and shouldn´t be in this list. It is a rather sad find, considering that this person surely suffered a lot: loosing all teeth and then having to deal with that for the rest of the lifetime. And by the way you do good in giving your specials finds to museums und not hiding them in your private collection. Looking forward to see more from you!

    The tapir jaw is incredible 😲 It's reallly exciting when you found single parts and some months/years you discover the rest of it. Even though it doesn't belong to the same animal. But finding pieces you didn't find before, is an awesome feeling. I found my first piece of horse jaw with the incisors and my first pieces of mammoth tusk this year.
    Wish you all a wonderful Christmas time ⛄

      During the Miocene (5 to 12 MYA), Florida was completely underwater. Marine animals that died over the Floridan shelf during that time were buried and preserved in what is now part of the Hawthorn group of formations. Rivers and creeks erode these ancient deposits exposing shark teeth for us to find!

      they need to be in sedimentary rock. so, mostly areas like clay or mud. next is rapid burial. it takes the perfect components to make fossilization possible. you may notice the rock the fossils are found within look the same. that is because it is called sedimentary rock.

      Central Florida was a nursery for baby and juvenile Megalodons. Sharks shed about 30,000 teeth in their lifetime and very few Megalodons made it in to full adulthood. That means most Megalodon teeth in the fossil record in Florida are from babies or juveniles.
