I live in arcadia fl. I have been noticing a good size group digging south of HWY 70 bridge on the peace river. I went and talked to em several days about finds.
Today I talked to a nice fella, conversation turned to a book I own "fossiling in Fl. A guide for diggers and divers" He asked me how I liked it? I said it was a good book!
He goes in his truck and produces a book, he shows me a picture and asks if it looks familiar? I sais that is you!
Yep, Mark Renz in the flesh! A small world!
He gave me 2 books of his, Giants in the storm and Desert sharks. His wife Marissa is a true artist! She painted the cover of Giants in the storm and did 99% of the illustrations in the same book!
I have talked to him several times and had no idea! He is a very generous, and humble man!
I feel honored to have met him!
If you need a guide on the peace, I highly recommend Mr. Renz!
