[Rockhounds] Short Fossil Trip Report

[Glenn Wimpee]

Monday 10/27/2006 Jeanette and I found ourselves in Central Florida where we rented a canoe near Arcadia and paddled along the Peace River for a few miles. We sifted through the gravel in a few easy access spots and collected a menagerie of small shark teeth and other cool fossils including a nice fossil gator tooth and a broken megalodon tooth.
Here is a link to a good site with representative finds:

And we encountered numerous live alligators.
 
This link has some great pictures taken along the river:
