Photo of the Day #252: Shells

Shells

In previous years I have had the good fortune of looking for fossils in the Inversand marl pit not long after a rain storm, the water washing away the sediment around small fossil shells and thus placing them on top of a little, sandy pedestal. I saw something similar this past weekend along the beach in Delaware, the recent action of water giving a number of shells their own little perch. The shells were small, in many cases little more than shell fragments, but as the photo above illustrates they still made for interesting subjects.
