This is a fossilized section of alligator jawbone with the root remnant of a tooth still in one socket. This piece is mineralized, so it likely dates from the Pleistocene period (approx. 12,000 to 2,500,000 years ago). Due to the small size, this specimen likely originated from a juvenile or baby alligator (alligator mississipiensis). It was found in the Peace River of Florida's famous Bone Valley formation. It measures approx. 40mm x 20mm.
