Coastal Region Library

Community Room

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.

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