Presqu'ile Provincial Park March 20, 2021: found two fossils!

 Drove to Presqu'ile Provincial Park March 20, 2021 today. It's about one and half hours away from Toronto.

Entry fee is 15.50 per car

Nice shale rock beach and a 

sandy beach and 

a gorgeous Lighthouse and 

Marsh land with board-walk (1km loop or a bit more)and the yellow-brown-gold marsh grass fields look beautiful

Also has a nature museum and gift shop and camp sites and in summer people can swim. Today we saw sail boarding(despite the cold and ice by the shore!)

The best things of today:

found two fossils!(on the rock-shale beach)

and found a 100$ bill in the sand!!!

                                                   Above and below: Fossil of a gastropod


                                                   Above:Fossil of a bivalve or a brachiopod



Above is a shale rock beach where I found a couple of fossils!




Below are photos of sandy beaches and path to this beach

You won't believe the unbelievable quantity of shells in this part of the beach or this beach. You cannot see the ground below, be it sand or rock...as it was covered with this incredible amount of shells. 
It's so amazing that in a short walk, one can see  such different beaches in one single park a shale rock beach//a sandy beach/a 'shelly' beach...who knows what other type of beach I would have found if I had  walked more

I will never go to Bombey Bhel at Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada ever again! It's an expensive rip off, serving sub-par tasting food!
