Our adventures

KT-ABA  journeyed to Venice Beach FL to let our families try their hands at shark tooth hunting. There is a fossil layer that ranges between 18-35ft deep in this area which is why Venice Beach Florida is called the shark tooth capitol of the world! We had a blast finding, and identifying everything from sharks teeth to stingray mouth plates, and even turtle shell! All of our fossils we found were over 5 million years old, but brand new to us. We cant wait to see what we find next time!

Rio de la Paz, or the “Peace River." to the Seminole Indians, who settled on its banks two centuries later, it was Tallackchopo, “The River of Long Peas,” for the wild peas that covered the river's banks. This is a fossil hunting area in Tampa that produces Florida fossils. The most commonly found species of shark in the Peace River area are lemon, bull, dusky, tiger, mako, snaggletooth, megalodon, sand tiger, sharp-nosed and snaggletooth. Individuals have also found saber tooth tiger, mastodon, rhino, and horse amongst other historic species that roamed Florida many years ago. Though the river was high from hurricanes Ian and Nicole we still had a blast! Our participants got to see the challenges of fossil hunting by watching the individuals of Educational Biofacts leap into action to find the best spots! Since the river was high we also got a bonus trip to Venice Beach for some shark teeth hunting and fun in the sun!
