hahaha,
Gators don't scare me much, I am fine with most snakes too. But I do hate small insects! Tics, musquitos, etc.

Those are nice fossils, Harry. Florida is the place to be for fossielhunting

Thank you, Gr. Geert, (What does the "Gr." stand for?)
Florida IS a good place for a fossil collector to be. Here are some distinctive Florida fossils.
The agatized coral is Early Miocene. It is the official Florida gemstone. The echinoid is the official state invertebrate fossil.

Glad you like it, 'trilospain'. Those Eupatagus tests are sturdy, and they are often found in a soft foram hash which is readily removed.
Here are more fossil corals.

Re: Hello from Northcentral Florida !
Dit zijn stukjes van Boney armor uit het dorsale regio's van de grote krokodillen. Deze armor komt voort uit de dermis van de reptielen. De armor stukjes zijn soms bewaard als fossielen.
Deze stukjes bot worden "osteoderms", niet "schubben."
Schubben zijn de chitonous schubben die deze osteoderms te dekken in het leven. Schubben zijn dun, flexibel en doorschijnend. Schubben komen voort uit de opperhuid van de dieren. Ze zijn nooit bewaard als fossielen.
Let op de centrale baas van de alligator osteoderm is niet aanwezig in het pantser van de krokodil, waardoor het relatief eenvoudig om onderscheid te maken tussen de twee taxa.
These are bits of boney armor from the dorsal regions of large crocodilians. This armor arises from the dermis of the reptiles. The armor bits are sometimes preserved as fossils.
These bits of bone are called "osteoderms," not "scutes."
Scutes are the chitonous scales that cover these osteoderms in life. Scutes are thin, flexible, and translucent. Scutes arise from the epidermis of the animals. They are never preserved as fossils.
Notice the central boss of the alligator osteoderm is not present in the armor of this crocodile, making it relatively easy to distinguish between the two taxa.
