Beach Report 5/12/14

It was another gorgeous morning here in Slower Maryland.
Like yesterday, we an excellent day for fossil shark's teeth, 45 for a walk that was probably half as long as yesterday.  The one on the right is the best of the lot, a pretty decent, if slightly worn Sand Tiger; not one we find often.  The cusps on the edge of the root is the give away.
A fossil for sure, this lump of coal is not native to our cliffs; coal was formed in the much older Carboniferous Era; it probably arrived here by falling off a coal barge, or as I sometime suspect, a coal barge that ran aground up the Bay from here.  Who knows, it may end up in my Christmas stocking.
I managed to make Georgia look up long enough to take a picture that actually shows something besides her hat.
