New Members lrenee212 Posted October 31, 2015 New Members Share Posted October 31, 2015 I have not been at this very long. I have only been casually looking for sharks teeth at Jacksonville Beach, and then the obsession began. I have been to Casperson, Venice beach and the sweet little Mulberry Phosphate Museum in Lakeland. I met some really cool folks from the Lee County Fossil Club there who were experienced fossil hunters. I really don't know how to look for anything anywhere other than the beach. If I take a trip up the Wasissa or Aculia rivers near Tallahassee, where should I look? Im also petrified of snakes, so I may need to stick to the beach. I'm obsessed with Ray plates and shiny sharks teeth, and vertebra too. I have one book on fossils in florida and how to find them, but it's not really practical advice.

fossilized6s Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Welcome! There are a few nice Floridians on this forum that I'm sure would be happy to point a noob like yourself to a few good spots. Good luck. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
