About Fossil Junkies
Fossil Junkies is a Florida-based fossil hunting and adventure company specializing in guided shark tooth hunts, offshore fossil diving, snorkeling, and Peace River airboat fossil tours. Our mission is simple: give guests the opportunity to discover real prehistoric fossils while delivering a safe, educational, and unforgettable experience.
We operate in some of the most fossil-rich environments in North America, including Venice Beach, Florida’s legendary offshore fossil beds, and the Peace River, home to Ice Age remains dating back tens of thousands of years.
Real Fossils. Real Discoveries.
Fossil Junkies tours are hands-on and discovery-driven. Guests regularly uncover:
• Fossilized shark teeth, including Megalodon
• Ice Age mammal remains such as mammoth, mastodon, bison, and horse
• Marine fossils preserved in ancient seabed's and river deposits
Every tour is designed to maximize the chance of discovery while helping guests understand what they’re finding, how it formed, and why it’s here.
Fossil Junkies personally recovers fossils in Florida, including authentic Megalodon shark teeth found in rivers and offshore fossil beds.
