Canoeing and Fossil Hunting in the Florida Swamp

Recommended Posts

We did some research a while back and hit a spot a couple days ago for the first time since hurricane Irma came through. It's a place that doesn't look like it should have fossils at all when you're looking at it, but there's a ton of shark teeth in the gravel on the bottom (if you can find it). This is one of those untouched remote spots that people have no idea there's fossils to be found in, even if they happened to be fishing or paddling past the area.

We didn't find anything huge, but the quantity was certainly there...Some screens had 20+ shark teeth, many of them being okay sized lemon shark teeth, Hemipristis, etc. We also got a couple pieces of megalodon....Lots of potential here. I don't think I included much of it in the vid, but I also did some microfossil matrix processing and I'm planning to do a lot more of that here.
 


Unfortunately the quality of some of the clips shot with the GoPro are pretty low...No idea what happened there.
