Beachcombing in Morecambe, Lancashire, northwest England
Can a beachcomber be a geologist in the absence of in situ rock exposures? I say yes, particularly for those of us with a fondness for Aktuo Paläontologie, the interpretation of modern shell remains as if they are fossils. Modern dead shells can provide a wealth of thought-provoking information, confirming that the present is, indeed, the key to the past.
