This past weekend, we visited several of the beautiful beaches around Olympic National Park including...
Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge
Second Beach
and Ruby Beach.
While wandering these beaches, we found things (and stuff) that we could not identify. And so we call upon you, dear reader, to help us!
Take a look below and ponder what we found. Then, leave a comment here on the blog if you think you know what you see. Even if you don't know, we'll give points* to the best guesses.
Exhibit A
Ok. That one was just a warm up.
Exhibit B
To what type of creature did this vertebra belong? Van keys included for scale. Redaction included to prevent a Diebold incident.
Exhibit C
These stone-like forms were all over the beach. At first, we thought we were handling petrified wood, but then the shapes were too varied for that. The exterior has a hardened clay-like texture, but these things were almost as dense as stones.
Exhibit D
My guess is cow. Your guess?
Exhibit E
Some of these 2-4 inch tall sand hills had the squirts on top while others just had a hole. What lives inside?
