Join the SETS Foundation for a program on a critter that lived in North America between 5 and 40 million years ago.

Come explore the history and biology of one of Florida's ancient creatures! The Oreodont was a mammal about the size of a sheep that was most closely related to camels and other “cud” chewing mammals, but looked like a pig. They lived in herds all over North America, including Florida. After learning about the Oreodont, participants will be given a small section of a fossilized jaw with teeth. Patrons will remove the attached matrix, clean, and mount their fossilized jaw section to take home and display.

Registration is required. Please register with the online calendar, in person, or by calling us at (352) 746-6622.

NOTE: Unregistered patrons are not guaranteed a chance to work with a fossil due to limited supply.
