Fossilguys Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Does anyone know about spots in Joshua Creek, Florida? I know it runs into the Peace, but I'm not sure if it produces many fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 pretty much any creek in the Peace River area will have fossils to some degree, look for the black gravely areas on the bottom "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"_ Carl Sagen No trees were killed in this posting......however, many innocent electrons were diverted from where they originally intended to go.

Shellseeker Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Always use the search feature of this forum to find threads about any topic -- So if you do a search for "Joshua" you will find reports of numerous TFF members who have searched Joshua Creek in the last couple of months and found tons of fossils.

digit Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yup. Joshua has some gravel beds. Make yourself a gravel probe out of a fiberglass rod and a comfy handle and walk the creek when the water level is low (not much time left this season). Probe through the sand while you walk looking for any areas of sand covered gravel. When you find some, stop and dig for a while. Several Florida TFF members have pock marked portions of the bottom of that creek but there are still areas out there producing nice fossils Caleb (Scramblered) puts in a lot of effort every time he is on the creek and always shames us with the things he finds. Joshua crosses 17 south of Arcadia (just north of Nocatee) but it also crosses 70 east of Arcadia. I've often wanted to try this second access point but haven't had the time yet. Good hunting. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossilguys Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thanks for the tips. We tried Joshua creek but didn't find many fossils. We did find some nice turtle shell pieces and a few big gators! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
