On this episode I describe my experience preparing for and going out on a fossil hunting adventure. A friend and I scour river bottoms in search of the remains of prehistoric Florida creatures, hoping to find and recover ancient paleontological treasures. Fossil hunting is perhaps the most adventurous hobby I partake in, brings you out in to nature and face to face with fearsome wildlife. There are few things like the thrill of recovering a awesome fossil. Just knowing that you're holding the remains of an animal such as mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloths, and saber cats, which lived tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago, will spur any imagination and drive the curiosity to learn about so many related subjects, like geology and archeology.
