Field trip to beaches

Post date: Jul 6, 2013 8:10:46 PM

On June 2nd, the history of life program went on a field trip to Capitola. We first arrived at a beach with a huge outcrop. Embedded in the outcrop and the rocks surrounding the outcrop were fossils from the Pliocene age. We were even lucky enough to see a whale bone embedded in one of the rocks!!! We then went to pebble beach to look at living Echinoderms in tide pools! We saw living (and dead) purple sea urchins, mussels, barnacles, hermit crabs, and cancer crabs.

Here are some pictures from the day!! :)
