Cool finds


We found this on the beach. Some proclaimed it to be a shark egg while others voted for a type of kelp. The verdict is in and these skate egg sacs are scattered all over the beach. We also found a string of hard disc-like sacs that resemble a snake's spine and ribs. Once again the vote was a type of seaweed but, lo and behold, they are the egg sacs of the whelk, aka the conch shell. I'll try to post a pic of this soon.
