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.
