Tropical Depression Debby is well gone now, and the tides have even returned to baseline levels. We got out just around low tide.
There have been lots of changes to the beach, sand scoured out in some places, and piled deeper in others. We had lots of shell and gravel to look through, and we did well, 34 teeth, and some misc small fossils, drums teeth, ray chevrons, sting ray barbs, including this . . .
Isurus retroflexus tooth, the ancient equivalent of the Long Finned Mako Shark. It's not a common tooth at all, and was the highlight of the walk. Too bad about a little bit of missing tip, but for 10 or so million years old, it's not in too bad a shape.
