Fernandina Fossils

Amelia Island is famous for its million-year-old fossils, including shark teeth, pectens (rare & elusive fossil scallop shells), and bones from megafauna like megalodons, mammoths, and giant beavers. Whether you are a newbie or an old pro, we can help you increase your chances of finding and enjoying these treasures.

Start by exploring our extensive exhibits of local fossils, which include everything from the most common types of shark’s teeth all the way up to unique and unusual finds like shark’s noses, capybara teeth, and giant megs. Understanding what to look for is the best way to improve your odds of a successful hunt.

Kickstart your skills by taking a guided fossil hunt eco-tour with our experienced local experts, who can help you understand the best hunting times, teach you hunting skills and techniques, introduce you to our coastal habitat, and show you how to read the beach and find shark teeth, pectens, and other fossils.

We offer educational experiences for kids of all ages, including art classes and regular show-and-tell events in our courtyard, where people bring in their finds, and we help identify them. You can also learn more via our Fossil Hunting classes, tips & tricks ID charts, treasure maps, and fossil hunting gear.

Bring your fossils to Fernandina Fossils to have them identified by our experts and labeled with our scientifically accurate ID cards. Take a photo at our aquarium mosaic wall in our Mermaid Courtyard, discover new ways to display your finds, and memorialize your favorite fossil finds as meaningful souvenirs in 3D display frames, memory bottle keychains, or jewelry made with wire wrapping or resin.

If you don’t find a meg on the beach, you can find one for sale in our gift shop, which is full of local fossils and fossil products created by local artists. We look forward to sharing the beauty of Amelia Island and its fossil treasures with you!
