ABOUT THE MANASOTA FOSSIL CLUB
The Manasota Fossil Club seeks to bring together people who share an interested in paleontology and archaeology, with an emphasis on the fossils and artifacts of Florida. We currently meet on the evening of the second Wednesday of each month at 8084 Hawkins Road, Suncoast Academy School, which is just 2 miles east of I75 off of Clark Rd. On Clark, turn right on Hawkins, follow it until you can make your first left (asphalt road) and follow the fence on the left. You will see parked cars and an open gate in the fence. We meet in room #904 (portable room).
Each meeting typically features a guest speaker and light refreshments are provided. We also typically have a raffle table of fossil items donated by members, with the raffle held after the conclusion of the evening's program. Members and visitors are encouraged to bring their latest fossil finds for display and also for ID help. Our members are a great source of information and are always happy to share their knowledge. We strongly encourage all members, both old and new, to obtain a fossil hunting permit (yes, there is such a thing!) from the state of Florida. It is only $5 a year and technically is required to collect in the Peace River and other state waterways. Here is the link to obtain your permit:
