Stella, the starfish seafloor segment replica, is busy on Steamer Lane beach in Santa Cruz, California waxing her surfboard. She cannot wait to ride the 18-foot waves that are rolling in today.

Dape, the Dapedium punctatus fossil replica, is puttering around with his boogie board. He is getting ready to go in the water with his new wetsuit and is very excited.

Pika, the alligator garfish skull replica, is eating her breakfast, lunch, and dinner all at once on the beach in her string bikini. She wants to get all of her eating over with in one sitting so she can join Stella on the killer waves today.

Dunker, the Dunkleosteus terrelli fish jaw replica, is dropping his jaw at all the sinfully beautiful girls on the beach this morning. It is a beautiful sight. He has covered himself with his beach towel. No need to say anything further about his state of mind.
