Florida’s Fossils from the myFOSSIL app 1 year, 5 months ago1 year, 5 months ago1 year, 5 months agoI only started hounding and prepping 4 months ago. I’m learning as I go.

Getting better at this. #fossil

Florida’s Fossils from the myFOSSIL app 1 year, 5 months ago1 year, 5 months ago1 year, 5 months agoAn awesome sea biscuit fossil – extremely detailed and preserved. It took close to two hours picking away the matrix filling the fossil. Very happy with the result! #fossil

I need to do some research on how to know what specimens are good to working and “picking”

1 year, 5 months ago1 year, 5 months agoThere are two massive boulders made up of this rock in Pensacola, Florida. They are located near the Black Water River. I believe they’re sand stone.
