Thanks for looking.
Our Identification info is based on general ID names we lost our ID books in storms and beyond we took a direct hit by Hurricane Charley which soaked the books we had and we are too old to go and replace them and relearn all the info again. we will do our best to name what we can give the general name and the pit they came from and whatever general information we can give, there is so much controversy about shell names and how to id them and some of them look so close as look alike shells, Florida is known to have the most pristine fossil shells in the world. We personally hand collected our shells many years ago and have been fossil collecting for more than 25 years and collected what we could, if we didn't collect all of these shells they would have been lost forever, all of the pits are now full of water and are bass ponds and condos and with all the pits now have been closed to the following due to all trespassers / fossil hunting and clubs / fossil hunting clubs, a lot of the pits are not even allowing the workers to collect anything and truck drivers could not leave their trucks while they were waiting to get loaded. Due to stricter Insurance rules etc...,And what we have heard from multiple owners and management that started all the fossil hunting bans, happened due to some fossil clubs / clubs , the members climbing 30 ft banks and have fell down and got hurt pretty bad and sued the pit owner and won even though they signed a liability release form which the pit owners learned that the release was not worth the paper it was written on. Fossil Hunting Ban
The poor pit owner was just trying to be nice to the clubs / fossil clubs and let them in to fossil / shell hunters, No good deed goes unpunished,The pit owner is just trying to make a living and do something nice for the fossil hunters and he lost big and it didn't take long for the lawsuit info to get to all the other pit owners, the truck drivers, pit workers, and everyone in that type of business and the people that bought the materials from and hauled to them. Lucky for us we were really good friends with the owners and management in the pits for years even after the fossil hunting ban was put into effect. So whatever collections that are out there and shells are for sale, just please keep in mind, to get the fossil shells while you can, these may be the last fossils that you could get for your collections, If you want a fossil get it while you can. It may be your last chance.
