“Thats’s my purse. I don’t know you!” - Bobby Hill Ever wonder what those dark, palm-sized leathery cases are that wash up on beaches? Sometimes referred to as “mermaid’s purse,” these pouches don’t hold Ariel’s “whozits and whatzits,” but the egg cases of skates, which are similar to rays with a flat body shape with pectoral fins. Each egg case has a “horn” on the corner, which help anchor the case to seaweed on the sea floor. When the embryo has finished developing, the pouch opens, and a young skate emerges. Most of the time, the egg cases you find part of our world are empty. Image: Small, pouch-like “purse” in the sand at Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park.
