Primitive Past

My name is Zach Frignoca, I am the owner of Primitive Past and I have spent most of my life finding and collecting fossil shark teeth. Over 40 years ago my father introduced me to Florida's rich fossil history and I have been addicted ever since. I explore rivers, swampland and ocean searching for these amazing fossils. I also have a world wide network of divers and diggers who help to supply Primitive Past with the finest varieties of shark fossils from all over the globe.

You can see fossil finding videos on my Epic Fossils YouTube channel. Here is one of my videos highlighting spectacular Florida Fossil Shark Teeth.
