Beachcombing for Shark and Sting Ray Eggs!



 

Another home ed mum came up with the idea of hunting for sting ray and shark eggs as she is currently doing the Great Shark Hunt Project which can be found here.

The Great Shark Hunt Project is an initiative to provide the Shark Trust with crucial information about the distribution of British sharks, skates and rays.

We found a lot of shark and ray eggs and we also found some other great stuff too.

Besides the bottles and plastic that we found and collected up to ensure it went in the bin instead of back in the sea.
 


and besides strange things stuck in the middle of nowhere. (If you know what this is please do tell)


We also found a fabulous fossil of a seal humerus.


Some Whelk eggs






and of course a small collection of shells.


And of course what we went there for the Shark Eggs



and Ray eggs





We rounded off the day with a trip to the local museum which is currently housing the Egyptian Collection that once belonged to a Mrs Goodison and not seen for 40 years until 2015. A very impressive collection.
