We are new home owners in Buttonwood, and many homes are under construction. I have noticed a lot of rocks being unearthed in the very sandy soil. On 466A, at Brownwood there are huge pieces of what looks like coral piled where the earth movers are working. Having moved from Virginia, I am sadly lacking in knowledge of Fl's geography. Was Florida covered by ocean at some distant time in the past? Thanks for your input. "Newbie" Sandra
