Beautiful surroundings James!!Great to be in an area that is unchanged through the years. snuffy The first thing people ask me when i come back from Florida is 'how was the beach?'. Always say 'I don't know, never went to the beach'. My family is all on the east coast. I have seen the beach a thousand times. And all the traffic and mess. Middle Florida is still old Florida Snuffy. And it has some of the finest jungle in the world. A gold mine of untouched water and territory. |

The echinoids are pretty, and wondered if you collected them while searching for coral, too, James?

Arrowheads coral casts mammal bones bivalves old bottles pine knots silicified muck and settled algae, death plate shark teeth, rhino teeth, gogong ribs, tapir teeth, rib bones, ankle bones knee bones fossilized armadillo parts, sloth parts, deer parts, and the rest of Africa and some. About at the Santa Fe River the mammal bones are more common and then southerly. The Peace River is fossil mammal capital. And the stingy govt lets you sift for them-miracles never seize. |
