Default Fossils in Buttonwood

That would be a real fossil, not the residents! I walk my dog (Meg) behind Buttonwood Run in the undeveloped area where Patio Villas are destined for construction. I noticed corral like rocks, and usually collect a few while Meg and I are walking. After learning that this part of Fl was underwater in the distant past, I made a habit of looking at the rocks more closely and was delighted to pick up a fossilized sea urchin. Its beautiful and intact.
