Tour questions, answered
Everything you need to know before you book.
What is the shark tooth eco-tour?
A 90-minute guided beach experience on Manasota Key. An expert local guide shows you exactly where to look, how to use the sifting gear, and how to identify the fossil teeth you find. No experience needed — most guests find multiple teeth on their first outing.
What will I find?
Fossilized shark teeth from nine species, most often lemon, bull, and sand tiger, plus tiger, mako, snaggletooth, hammerhead, hastalis, and megalodon. Hunters also find ray plates and barbs, dolphin teeth, drumfish teeth, pufferfish and wrasse mouth plates, pieces of whale and dugong rib bone, mammal enamel, fossilized coral, fossilized sand dollars, sea glass, and even WW2 plane bullet shells and casings. Everything you find is yours to keep.
