I don't think it is possible for me to go to the beach without picking something up. There are so many interesting things.
Shark tooth hunting was very good this trip. I found many just in front of the house.
And I found some more fossilized fish poo. (at least that is what I am calling it. E doesn't understand why I bother to pick it up)
And I found lots of faces.
Some in profile.
This was my favorite. I think it looks like Grandpa from The Simpsons.
I think there is a definite resemblance there.
Then there was this treasure. "What is it?" you might ask. Well, a man stopped me and asked if I had ever heard of a moon shell. No I had not but he described a type of snail. He said this was the last piece of the shell left as it erodes.
Apparently, you can tell by the flat side. He said it is calls a sharks eye and it was his favorite shell and he has over 500. I don't think I will be competing to find more. They really look too much like the sand.

I laughed out loud when Grandpa Simpson scrolled into view - I see the resemblance. Very interesting finds. I had never heard of "shark eye" or "moon shell" - very interesting. I googled it and google image shows a type of snail shell - not eroded like what you show - but similar spiral shape to what you show on the flat side.
