Some fossils at the beach

[Nautiloid]

A couple days ago I spent the day at the Gay Head Cliffs at Martha’s Vineyard. This beach is famous for its vibrantly colored clay cliffs. I did not fossil hunt in the cliffs themselves because as far as I’m concerned it’s a federal offense to even touch the cliffs, but I did find a couple of clams lying along the surf that had eroded out of the cliffs. They’re pretty neat because they’re the first Miocene fossils I’ve ever found.

I was hoping to find shark teeth because I had heard they could be found there but at least I found some fossils.

Never knew they had fossils on MV. Pretty cool.
