Mississippi Fossil Palm Root
Eocene-Miocene
About Mississippi Fossil Palm Root
The Mississippi Fossil Palm Root is a plant fossil dating to the Eocene-Miocene. Fossil Palm Root is a realistic Mississippi 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.
“According to TroveRadar, Mississippi Fossil Palm Root fossils from the Eocene-Miocene are found across Mississippi. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.”
