Mermaid’s Purse

Every child who has spent time at the beach knows these – mermaid purses. I’ve also heard them called devil’s purses, but I prefer the more fanciful name! These are actually the egg cases of skates and can be found scattered along the seashore. This one was on Humarock Beach.

Hmm. I seem to be on an egg case kick. Chalk it up to spring fever!
