Just got an old microscope and phone mount for studying my local microfossils. Hoping to upgrade equipment/techniques for better shots. US Quarter for scale. All fossils shown here are from the Peace River at Fort Mead, Florida. A permit is needed for collecting vertebrate fossils, but shark tooth collection is unrestricted.

Shark teeth. Toothpick point for scale.

Snails.

A tiny mussel, intact.

The black knob is a phosphate nodule. The reason for so much heinous corporate damage to West Central Florida nature.

Some botanical fossils, maybe.

Are those microsaurs?

Never knew sharks had tiny teeth as well. Without zooming in, I would have thought all of these were just eroded pebbles. Thanks, @OP.

I know, right? I don’t usually like to see experiments fail, but this one is just creepy.
