Hello. My name is Larry Bossert and I am the owner of " The Missing
Link " in Venice, Florida. Venice Florida is known around the world as
" The shark tooth capital of the
world. " I started " The Missing Link " in 1995 when I decided to
turn my fossil collecting hobby into a business. I have lived in Venice for over
20 years and have spent a lot of time collecting fossils and shark teeth. During
the past five years my search for fossils has taken me to some interesting and
remote areas. Several of my dig sites required that you drive to the general
area and then backpack through the woods with all of your digging gear. This can
get a bit trying with the Florida heat and bugs but when you start uncovering
100's of fossils it all becomes worth while.
Unfortunately,
all of my sites have been closed to diggers and the best site of all has now
been transformed into a sub-division of expensive new homes. This is the site
that is shown in my pictures and is where most of the fossils I am selling came
from. You can see in the pictures that we had to dig down 8'-10' to find the
best fossils.
In 1995 I started " The Missing Link " as an outlet to sell some
of my vast collection of fossils. I started buying fossils from other digging
friends who
worked at it every day. A couple of my friends are shown ,hard at work, in my
dig site pictures. I learned how to wire wrap shark teeth and started making and
selling shark tooth neck chains to souvenir shops. This led to a whole line of
fossil products and souvenirs and I have decided to create this web site and
offer them directly to the public.
I hope you enjoy your visit to " The Missing Link " - Your source
for high quality
fossil shark teeth,
shark tooth jewelry and
small fossils.
We also carry an interesting line of beads from all over the world. All
orders come well packaged and are promptly delivered after payment is
received.
Thanks for stopping by, Larry
