Beaches made of stone and shells hundreds of thousands of years old…

At first glance from the water these beaches look like sand, when you get on them you find compressed sedimentary rock benches that were formed hundreds of thousands of years ago eroding away and creating magnificicent shell and polished rock landscapes that you just want to run your fingers through. You cannot help but wonder what the world was like when these sedimentary rock layers were formed. It gets your imagination going, I wonder how many of the shellfish that were present at that time are still present today? DT
