Fossils | Greater Wauchula
Go fossil hunting at Peace River Park in Wauchula with members of the largest amateur paleontological club in the United States.
The Tampa Bay Fossil Club was founded in 1988 and focuses on paleontology, archaeology and everything prehistoric. Besides field trips, they hold monthly meetings with scientific speakers and sponsor FossilFest at the Florida State Fairgrounds.
Florida was under water when dinosaurs roamed North America, but ancient mammals like the giant ground sloth and saber-toothed cats thrived here.
