We Found a HELL PIG! Our RAREST Fossil Find Ever! | Florida Entelodont (Daeodon/Dinohyus)

This was one of our rarest finds of all time! An incredibly rare Arikareean HELL PIG (entelodont) from the Late Oligocene/Early Miocene of Florida, along with a bunch of rhino material. Terrestrial fossils from this time period are incredibly rare from Florida, with only a handful of sites ever found. This site has the potential to help teach all of us more about the prehistoric life who called this place home.

As special as the fossil finds in this adventure are, it is still only one part of what makes days like this special to us. We are naturalists and fossils are only one part of the way we experience, enjoy and study nature while we are outside. We also smell it, taste it, listen to it and touch it, the way humans have done for hundreds of thousands of years. Doing this causes us to slow down and really appreciate everything around us. It's amazing how much you actually miss if you're in too much of a hurry in adventures like this, or in any other part of life. It is important to slow down, as often as possible.

In any case, we can't wait to get back out to this location and uncover more mysteries that it holds! We have clearly only scratched the surface of this location, and we are convinced that it may tell us much more if we continue to study it. Expect this to be part of a series on this location/site. Hell Pig Creek!
