Drawing upon the museum's internationally acclaimed fossil collections, the Hall of Florida
Fossils encapsulates the last 65 million years of Earth's history (since
the extinction of the dinosaurs), using the Florida Platform as the
stage on which this fascinating story is told.
Over 90 percent of the exhibit's 500 fossils are real, and many were found
within 100 miles of Gainesville.
Cyberspace visitors are welcome to share in our new exhibit hall.
This site includes current research and historical overviews of Florida Paleontology and Florida
Geology and postings in our Digital Library, information on the living
and extinct fauna and flora of Florida. Images of the Hall of Florida Fossils are posted
on the Design page, as well as additional information on the Fossil
Hall team. Our Funding page provides information to
those visitors interested in making a donation towards this major exhibit.
