Flori-Stone

[jbooza]

Does anyone have any information on where bags of fossilized molluscs sold as Flori-stone are actually quarried?  Long story short, I usually pick of a few bags while in Florida every year and transport back to the Midwest. They are nice for landscaping, but more importantly the shells are full to look through every so often while working in the garden. Most of the shells are Chione cancellata; however, some gastropods can be found a well. It appears that the shells are of Plio-Pleistocene age; however, I was wondering if anyone had any additional information.  For those of us that do not live in Florida and have difficulty finding public sites to search for fossils, these bags can produce a few decent shells here and there.
