North Carolina Part 5: Shark!

Once on the other side, we went to a tiny town called Aurora. They had an interesting little fossil museum. We kind of hustled through, the kids stopping only to check out the really obvious stuff. It was mostly about sharks.
This is what it would look like if you were about to be eaten by a shark that had just had an appetizer.
One of the displays.


Ahhh! Swim away! Swim away!
Confuscious say: He who smiles from between the teeth of a shark makes a happy meal.
The fun part was going outside to piles of dirt/stone debris brought over compliments of the local phosphate mine. You go out and sift through it with your fingers in search of sharks teeth.



My kids loved it, and found about a dozen or so each.

We made it back to the dock in time for ferry, but alas, they were full. So we headed back another way. Lasagna for dinner, and FHE.
