[QUOTE="Marauder, post: 475209, member: 6200"] Took the kids down there,(30 or so) and did a spiel on the rocks and sedimentary layers and stuff, and then sent them off. They found a few fossils, some sea urchin ones, a couple of shells and what looked like the top of a crab shell. I found the best one though, I reckon. was a conical sea shell, only 10mm long, but the shell itself had been replaced by silica and the basically made a crystal shell. very cool. Had the fossils in a pile on the beach to show the kids and when i came back the crystal shell was gone! probably one of the kids chucked it in the sea or something. Anyway, are these kinds of fossils rare? thinking of going back for another look. Thanks James [/QUOTE]
