Our post-doc, Hai, found the largest palm leaf from Alum Bluff today. It’s about 15 Ma. #fossil

Lots of plant material at Alum Bluff, one of the few plant fossil localities in Florida (material is 15 Ma). Most looks like this, identifiable stuff is hard to find. #fossil #collection_site

1 week, 5 days agoEvan Kruse posted an image in the group Florida’s Fossils from the myFOSSIL appI believe this is a fossilized sponge that was found in Lithia Springs, Florida. #fossil
Edit: correction. It is probably a coral.

Hi@evan-kruse. It looks like a coral to me.
-
…. That’s probably right. I can see a little star pattern in the holes, which probably means it isn’t a sponge.

This is Attalea gunteri, one of the few Eocene non-marine plants in Florida. While this species is extinct, this is a modern genus of palm native to Central America and the Caribbean. We are looking at the fruit of the plant, the only part we have discovered in Florida. Note the vasculature (striations) on the side of the fruit. Today there are no native Attalea in Florida and it is thought that Florida was underwater during the Eocene. So either this was washed out to the sea from its current range, washed out to sea from what is now the US and went extinct or there might have been a few islands poking out of the sea forming a proto-Florida in the Eocene. #fossil

Looks like there are serrations, so I would say likely either Carcharhinus (requiem sharks) or Galeocerdo (tiger shark)

Hi @kelsi-hamblin. Do you think you could update the taxonomy of this specimen?
@samantha-ocon I would guess its a Meg. I’ll do some research and update if I can nail it down
