Lots and lots of heart urchins at Inspiration Point... and most are in fantastic condition.

I have only ever found one other of these, and I am not sure what their correct name is... I will stick with "cool spiral-cone shell" for now.

These are the best ammonite pieces and whole one I found on this hunt. Planning on cleaning up the whole one and will post that when I do.

Variety of ammonite pieces, heart urchins, and other shells.

Tight band ammonite

I found so many pieces of this species of ammonite I had to start leaving them behind because my backpack was too heavy. Found a beautiful whole one that I could not remove, because the rock was too brittle (and a large boulder was stationed above it menacingly).

This is the total view of my haul from the day... a collection of ammonites (whole and in pieces), multiple heart urchins in great shape, and a variety of other shells.
