Yep. River. One and a half million years old. Florida.

Indy do you think rivers closer to the coast have better fossils, artifacts, and pottery or is it more driven by chance and knowing the history of the location.

Great observation, jpgold. Rivers closer to the coast are better. They were under water or on dry land more often than areas farther upstate and inland. Therefore, we get both land, fresh and saltwater fossil remains. For artifacts, coastal areas are better too. The first settlements were close to the seas and later people moved inland. You're on it!
