Revere Beach -- plus -- plant id help?



An unknown succulent plant on the beach.





Any guesses?



I saw a gull eating something and I had to see what it was--it was a dead dogfish!



Their egg-cases were all over the beach, but I hadn't seen the animal in person before.

I was wondering if different species of dogfish exhibited different methods of reproduction. As I was looking around, I noticed the diversity in the genus and recalled that we never were told what species of dogfish we were slicing and dicing. Now I know it had to be one of the viviparous species! Good detective work :-)
