Holden Beach Nov 2023
Field trips to Holden Beach were held on Nov 9th and Dec 3rd, 2023. Four members attended the Nov 9th trip and 7 attending the Dec 3rd trip. The Nov 9th trip was great, with warm weather and great tides. Unfortunately the tides on the Dec 3rd trip were not in our favor, and there was little rock on the beach. It's always luck of the draw. Holden Beach is still producing great things. Dredging has thrown up a lot of Cretaceous age, Pee Dee Formation rock along with the sand, and between the two trips, mosasaur teeth, turtle bits, shark teeth, puffer fish mouth plates, echinoids, bone frags, Exogyra oysters and ammonite chunks were found. It's never a dull day on the beach!
