For those of you who haven't been to the cliffs, this picture gives you an idea of how tall some of them are. Notice the two fossil collectors at the beach.

This is also a good image to show how dangerous it is to dig in the cliffs, just think.. Hmmmm... lets see... physics... This section looks to be about 15 people high, that's about 83 ft, or 25.3 m... Vf = Vi + sqrt(2ax) = 22.3 m/s = 49.9 miles/hour. If someone caused a small collapse, the stuff from the top of the cliffs would hit the person at a speed of roughly 50 miles per hour! Yuck! Stay away from teh base of the cliffs!

Here are the fossils we found. Highlights are a nice porpoise tooth, an exquisitely preserved 1.25" mako (Giant White) tooth, and two hemepristis serra teeth. One of the H. serra teeth still has matrix on it. It had just fallen from the cliffs, top of Zone 11 I believe.

This is a pic of a rather tame Fox we saw at the place where we parked our car.

Here is one of the rays sunning itself at the surface in the morning along the cliffs. Cow Nosed Rays are a common sight at the surface on sunny mornings.

Here's a close up of a cow nosed ray inches below the water. In the kayak you can sneak up on all kinds of wildlife.
