No need to spend a lot of time trying to straighten the horizon on today's pictures; there was no horizon thanks to thick fog on the Bay today.
It wasn't really all that cold, in the mid 50s, with no wind, and almost flat calm except for boat wakes.
It was all Georgia in the fossil department today, first with this gorgeous
White Shark tooth, 1 3/4 inch long and in great shape. It's only an 1/8th inch short of this year's best so far. She found it up just above the tide line on the way back, after I passed, so it had been passed by at least three times, not to mention any other people on the beach. Go figure.
Then, just to rub it in, she spotted this nice, but slightly broken
Snaggletooth in the water as she and Skye were rounding the rocks that separate Calvert Beach and Matoaka.
She also found this shell that we've never seen before, likely a species of
Turritella. A much smaller, rounder Turritella is very common in the clay here, and sometime wash up in droves on the beach.
