Really really old shells

Out at low tide with J today, specifically to see the rocks that fell from the cliffs after the recent stormy weather.

J has all the factual numbers - he even has a little hammer for cracking into fossils which he bought on Amazon. Nerd.

Me, I'm not so good with that stuff, but I do find it pretty amazing that all those razor clams all dumped themselves in the same spot and then other stuff was dumped on top of it - until there was 60 plus feet of stuff on top of it - and then this chunk fell off and split and here they are, embedded in rock.

They haven't seen air for a very very long time.
