Florida Fossil Palm Root Identification

Fossil Palm Root is a realistic Florida fossil profile built around silicified palm tissue known from Gulf and western subtropical deposits. In this state, success usually comes from learning phosphate pits, shell hash beaches, and river gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
