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 meet on the evening of the second Wednesday of each month but do not have meetings in July, August, or September. Meetings are held at 7 PM at the clubhouse of the Las Palmas condominium complex located at 519 Albee Farm Road in Venice, FL.
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:
