Join Derek Demeter, director of the Emil Buehler Planetarium, rockhound, and fossil hunter as we explore the geological and paleontological history for Florida. Specimens will be exhibited from the earliest sea life of the Eocene epoch to giant megafauna found in the Pleistocene. Guests will also be able to come up and explore many examples of the rocks and fossils found in Florida such as agates, calcified corals and mollusks, wavelite, vivianite, and marine and terrestrial fossils.
