Description

If you've had a chance to persuse my art photography site you already know I love texture and this day was no exception. When young I had been exposed to Coquiina shells in Florida by my grandmother, but had no knowledge of Coquina rocks. The shells are generally very small, less than an inch and colorful. Grandma was a great shell hunter and when we visited we used to hunt for the small colorful shells. Those memories are still with me today many years later.

As you can see the sand is a very rust color, so colorful when paired against the blue/green waters around Florida. I have not found very many rocky coastlines in Florida and this one is special, lined with Coquina Rocks, found only a couple of places in Florida and the Caribbean.

Coquina is a sedimentary rock composed almost entirely of sand-size fossil debris. The fossils are usually small mollusk or gastropod shells and shell fragments. Brachiopod, trilobite, coral, ostracod and other invertebrate shell debris is present in many coquinas. The fossil debris of coquina is composed of calcium carbonate, making coquina a variety of limestone. (RB)

Coquina contains very little silt or clay-size particles, and its fossil fragments are lightly cemented together. This makes it an extremely porous rock that can serve as an aquifer for community and private water supplies. It can also serve as a reservoir for oil and natural gas.

Cochina is found several places in the Caribbean and in Florida.
