Chesapeake Bay Seahorses!

[Coral Hind]

So last weekend I spent three days down in Southern MD, close to Calvert Cliffs, collecting fossils. While wading out knee deep into the bay during a break I found two seahorses hanging onto an old piece of chain link fence. I had never seen seahorses in the Chesapeake Bay before. I was able to cup one in my hands and it was very tempting to try to bring it home but I resisted and let it go. I think the seahorses were cooler then the 15 million year old alligator tooth I found.
