Here is an absolutely great article on Florida's fossil history.  As I've posted in the past, you can find fossils such as some of those mentioned in the article on Treasure Coast beaches while metal detecting.

Here is the link.


Here are a couple examples.

If you get into collecting Fossils in Florida, you will need a permit unless you go out with a permitted guide.  I've talked about that before, and I've gone with a fossil guide, which is a great way to learn about Florida fossils.  It is worth the price, and if you are interested will save you tons of time getting up to speed.

For information about the Florida permit, here is the link.

If you like old stuff, some of Florida's fossils can be millions of years old.

Concerning the low pressure area in the Nortern Gulf...


1. Northern Gulf Coast (AL93):
Satellite, surface, and radar data indicate that the broad low 
pressure area over northern Gulf is located just south of the coast 
of Mississippi. The associated shower and thunderstorm activity 
remains disorganized and located mainly to the west and southwest 
of the center. Some development could occur before the system moves 
westward into Louisiana later today or tonight, although the 
chances of the system developing into a tropical depression are low.

Regardless of development, heavy rainfall could produce localized 
flash flooding over portions of the north-central Gulf Coast through 
Friday. For additional information, please refer to products issued 
by the Weather Prediction Center and your local National Weather 
Service office.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.


Expect another week of smooth surf along the Treasure Coast.


Good hunting,
