Prehistoric Florida Site Map

On this page you will find our more unique and rare items. These items can also be found on other pages within the site, but this page is a great one stop location for our premier items.

On this page you will find all of our most recent listings, both artifacts and fossils.

Paleo
These are the oldest and often the most highly sought after artifacts that we offer. Most literature places this time period from 15,000 to 9,000 years before present.

Archaic
A large percentage of artifacts found in Florida fall into this time period. Most literature places this time period from 9,000 to 4,000 years before present.

Woodland
This time period is known for producing some of the most aesthetically pleasing artifacts. Most literature places this time period from 4,000 to 1,500 years before present.

Miscellaneous
This page features bone, stone, pottery, and shell artifacts. These artifacts range from Paleo to Historic in age.

Carnivore
These animals were predators and their fossils are highly sought after. Of all Florida fossils carnivores are least common. This page features fossils from cats, wolves, bears, and more.

Xenarthra
This grouping of animals features sloths, armadillos, and glyptodonts. These are unique animals whose fossils are both highly collectible and fascinating.

Reptile
Florida is very well known for its reptiles, most notably the American alligator. Reptile fossils are common finds in Florida, but as with all fossils, high quality examples are uncommon.

Artiodactyl
Artiodactyls are animals with an even number of toes on each foot. This grouping of animals features deer, camel, bison, antelope, giraffe, and more. Florida fossils from this group range from common (white-tailed deer) to extremely rare (giraffe).

Perissodactyl
Perissodactyls are animals with an odd number of toes on each foot. This grouping of animals features horse, tapir, and rhinoceros. The tapir is believed to have been the last surviving Perissodactyl in Florida, having gone extinct around 9,000 years ago.

Proboscidea
Mastodons, mammoths, and gomphotheres all belong to the order Proboscidea. Proboscidea teeth are some of the most famous and highly collectible of all Florida fossils.

Shark
Shark teeth are quite possibly the most easily recognizable fossils by the general public. The Discovery Channel and Shark Week, along with souvenir stores everywhere, are to thank for this. Shark teeth can be found virtually anywhere in Florida. Large, high quality, colorful examples are always in high demand.

Bird
Because bird bones are hollow and fragile, complete examples are uncommon. Also, with so many species of birds and each bone being very similar, the bones are often difficult to positively identify. The most famous bird fossils are those of the extinct Titanis walleri, or "terror bird".

Miscellaneous
This page features fossils from rodents, amphibians, lagomorphs, invertebrates, marsupials, and more.
