A pretty nice day today, but just a little too cool for shorts, t-shirt and bare feet. Temperatures in the lower 50s with a stiff and rising from the NW.
Most of the beach was pretty sandy, but the long beach at Matoaka was nicely graveled, and it was there . . .
I found this
White Shark tooth, one of only four teeth I found.
One mere 1/16 inch shy from a 1 1/2 inches. It's not quite the biggest of the year, but it's flawless and sharp enough to use as a knife.
After the walk, Georgia and I took Gabby to the
Calvert Marine Museum, where I dropped off a years worth of ordinary shark's teeth, and bags of crab claws, Tilly bones, ray plates, ray barbs, and miscellaneous random chunks of bones for the kid's Discovery sand box.
Some Megalodon reconstructions we saw there. The otters were uncooperatively taking their afternoon siesta, but otherwise, we had a good time.
