Acc. 24115 --- John G. Webb, Osprey, Manatee Co., Florida --- Fragment of a human skull turned to limonite in 1868 on Section Three, Township 37, S Range 18 E., Little Sarasota Bay, Florida.  Described and figured in Trans. Wagner Free Institute, Vol. II, plates 1 & 2, figs. 1 & 2.

This fragment was together with the other portions of the skeleton sent by Judge Webb to the Smithsonian Institution immediately after the discovery, but it was overlooked;  portions of the skeleton were exchanged with the Peabody Museum where they still are and the skull has not been accessioned or catalogued until the present.
