This is a section of bone from a critter but I am not sure what. It is from a leg or arm. Nice fossil. I found it in the peace river in Desoto county florida.

I have loads of fossils that I will be posting on here. Some are good for display some would be best used to make things with. I know a few guys that cut, grind and polish some of them to make jewelry and knife handles and many other things.

Most of them are found along the Peace River.

i am not creeping but this thing is 50 million years old!

Florida's vertebrate fossil history dates back to the Eocene Period, 56.5 million years ago. Florida land vertebrates from the Oligocene, Miocene and Pliocene Periods are extremely important because they are so rare elsewhere in eastern North America. The importance of Florida's fossil record is priceless because without it, the understanding of Cenozoic terrestrial life on this continent would be very incomplete.

I am thinking this one is a lower bone section of a leg. The area at the top with the two smoother areas remind me of my moms knee when she had a knee replacement last year. Looks almost jut like it.

Ooooh! you are serious! i am not so much so, like i said hubby got them for me , from work.
so then i should know better than to ask..lol. i am sure yours will go real well. it is an amazing feeling to hold something that old in your hand, thats for sure.
