    These fossils ( and more ) were donated by the late Ben Waller, River diver, Avocational Archeologist, and Paleontologist..Ben had the largest paleo collection in the state at one time, and his main interest was to educate folks about N/A People in a way us collectors could understand....All are from North Florida rivers...1 is a Camel leg bone from the Miocene, weather they had had a hump is not known, but they did have long necks...2, Sabertooth cat...3, self explanatory...4,the small white tooth is a Mastodon milk tooth ( Will someone tell me what that is cuzz I don’t know ) and leg bone.,,( I don’t know who put the Sawfish bill in there but it didn’t come from the river)...5 is a Mammoth mandible...6,I Hope you can read it...7 are teeth from a one toed horse ( a very rare fossil ) they were the size of a pony...7 is an antler piece from a giant deer..That’s the overview...Thanks for lookin, scuze me now I’m gonna take a nap...

        I’ll never understand why the state put a 86 on diving for artifacts/ fossils. Wait a minute, it’s the cancel culture ! Or, not being taxed.. How else are we to see all this Hal ?
