Short Alaska Beach trip

Recommended Posts

This summer I was helping a youth group from church on a camp. The trip was to Kodiak Island for a week.

 

Got lucky and was able to convince the group that a road trip to a distant beach was in order for a bit. Drive about 4 hours for a 2 hour beach stop.

 

Unfortunately for me I was limited on time, didn't have the right equipment, and was in someone else's rig. So I wasn't able to really explore and collect much. But I brought home 2 nice chunks of matrix with lots of shells. The site has limited scientific printed information that I have located. it is Miocene in age.

 

Photos of 1 block I carried out and 1 exposed sand dollar on a different block I brought home as well.
