Jacob and Ben Beck visit Paleo Preserve in Ruskin, Florida, USA. They get a 1-on-1 science lesson from world renowned paleontologist Frank Garcia who guides them as they dig to find their own amazing fossils. In 1983, scientific history was changed when Tampa Bay paleontologist Frank Garcia discovered the world's greatest collection of Pleistocene fossils at the Leisey Shell Pit in southern Hillsborough County , uncovering scores of fantastic creatures from prehistoric times, some of them previously unknown to science. Paleontologists from all over the country converged on the site, and it became one of the most celebrated finds on earth. http://www.paleopreserve.org/ http://www.campbayou.org/ http://www.proctormuseum.us/Biographies/garcia.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OSULKnkBA8
