Did You Know a scallop isn’t just seafood, it’s a living shellfish with a ridged, fan-shaped shell that’s been around for tens of millions of years? When ancient scallops died, their shells sank into ocean mud, slowly turned to stone, and became fossils as the land changed. Today, you can find 20-million-year-old scallop fossils trapped inside ordinary-looking rocks right on the beach. Crack one open and you’re not just holding a rock you’re holding a snapshot of an ancient ocean. #Fossils #beac
