Two weeks at pleistocene beach

Hello dear fellow forum members.

In contrast to my usual online hunting grounds and model building, I went out and collected some real fossils on the beach.

From 14th to 28th of september I spent between one and four hours a day strolling the beaches near Breskens, Zeeland, Netherlands.

The region is known for miocene, pliocene and pleistocene fossils and located close to the zwarte polder famous for its shark teeth.

What exactly, and from what ages, I found will take some time to find out, but here are some first impressions.

I did not take many pictures on the beach because sand and wind did not agree with my camera.

The plan is to add short day by day accounts of the fossils to give you an overview of the variety.

On some days I had the beach to myself, especially in the morning.

At the weekends it was crowded. But everyday there where at least some fossils to be found...
