3 years, 3 months ago3 years, 3 months agoIt looks like an iron/sandstone concretion to me, I’ve found some similar things here in SW FL.

William Howat replied to the topic Can someone help me ID this Fossil? in the forum What Is It? 6 years, 3 months ago
6 years, 3 months ago6 years, 3 months agoI belive that what you have found is an upper mouthplate of a drum fish.
I would lean more towards modern, than fossil.
…but it’s still a really interesting piece!

6 years, 5 months ago6 years, 5 months agoIt looks like oyster shell to me…

I would lean towards bryzoan or sponge.
…but invertebrates are my weakest link in identification, so I may be wrong.

6 years, 7 months ago6 years, 7 months agoFrom what I can see, it does look like a whale tooth…
I am attaching a photo of a whale tooth in my collection from the phosphate pits of “Bone Valley” FL (Around Polk and Hardee counties) for comparison.
