Not the Baseball Rays

We’re keeping the nautical theme at MDP this week.  Have you ever seen one of these egg cases lying around on the beach?  They’re usually empty.  I’ve seen a whole bunch of them, but never one with an baby ray in it.  At Calvert Marine museum there is a display which conveniently backlights an egg case with an actual embryo in it.  You can very clearly see that it will develop into one of these.

    I think that the one photographed here is the Famous Original Ray.
