Exploring TINY Florida Islands for Fossils | Fossil Hunting in the Gulf of Mexico

Спорт

This was a very enjoyable and different kind of fossil hunting adventure here in Florida! Kyle and I set out to explore the banks of a huge canal, eventually making our way to a series of small islands in the Gulf of Mexico that are loaded with fossils and other cool things that wash up. We had a good time seeing the wildlife, finding loads of cool things and enjoying the scenery.

    Woohooooo! Let's go! Ahh! Porpoises. At certain moments this is like watching the professor and the comedian. You guess which is what? Lol : )Then again other moments it's simply two boys having the time of their lives. If I found a Manatee skeleton, I'd be Super Stoked. I'd take it home, along with some sand and lay it out in the sand (in my back yard) or mount it onto some old weathered wood, to display wherever. So Cool! What a Day you two had. Even the fish were jumping with Joy it seemed. Thank you for letting us tag along, Chris and Kyle.
