Fossils found on a walk after heavy rain


They have put in an access road behind our neighborhood and apparently it is on top of a prehistoric oyster/clam bed and so when it rains these fossils wash out.
Here is James' hand to show the size of them. Down the road a few miles north of us is a creek where you can find prehistoric sharks teeth as well. This last shot is of the field next to the road to show how widespread the find is.

We collected a few to play with in the sand box and promised Jake we would go back (with his Wellie boots) after the next big rain.
