Mermaids purse and other things.

Last week I went to Ocean Grove beach. I was digging in the sand, and guess what I found? A shark's egg! Look...

Wait a minit, thats not a shark egg! They are sting ray eggs!

Here is what a shark's egg looks like...it is from a Spotted Dogfish shark

This shows the shark before it has hatched.I think they look a lot alike because they both have swirly tips band a rectangular case. Even though they look alike in their eggs they don't once they are hatched! Take a look:

Spotted Dogfish

Stingray

I told you so!!

I also found some other things that day here is a picture:

I found some random crab pieces, a sand dollar and a shell. I also found some sand fleas:

They are so cool because when you pick them up, they tickle in your hand. Also, I have a secret how to catch a lot. I caught 274! You dig your hands deep in wet sand, and you will find millions. Here is a picture of some I found...

So next time you go to the beach KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN, and you might find really really cool. stuff
