I went to the Delaware Seashore last weekend to collect sea glass. I came home with the most beautiful variety of sea shells and only five pieces of sea glass. I was flabbergasted by the varieties of shells and rocks that were there. It surpassed anything that I ever encountered on west coast beaches.
Beach combing may have to become a new past-time for me. I can't even begin to describe the heavenly serenity found as each unique remnant of sea-life was unearthed by my fingers. There was an almost ineffable joy as I lay on the beach, with the patterned song of the oceans waves rumbling in my ears, and combed my fingers through the cool, treasure-filled sand.
One of my favorite finds was a small fossilized rock with what appears to be very small trilobites or arthropods and fossilized sea worms. It may be from the Paleolithic period, or it could be Pre-Cambrian. Since I am not a Paleontologist, and have very little knowledge of fossils, I am not sure. But the rock fossil itself is fascinating and beautiful.
