The Florida Museum of Natural History: Just in time for Dinosaur Month, the museum has opened “The Hall of Florida Fossils: Evolution of Life and Land.” The exhibit will feature more than 500 fossils of which more than 90 percent are authentic and were found within 100 miles of the museum’s location.<\/p>\n
