Florida Dugong Fossil Display – Educational Marine Mammal Specimen

A rare fossil specimen from an ancient dugong, displayed with an educational placard highlighting Florida’s prehistoric marine life.

This educational fossil display features an authentic dugong fossil fragment recovered in Florida, dating to a time when warm, shallow seas covered much of the region.

Dugongs are gentle, seagrass-grazing marine mammals related to modern manatees. Unlike their freshwater relatives, dugongs lived exclusively in marine environments and were once common along Florida’s ancient coastlines.
