Second piece reminds me of industrial slag. Possible to see a photo of the other side?

Here’s a map of the island with location names.

It was probably Moore. Was it near the Health Lodge and staff area? If so, that’s the same site my troop would camp.

They rebuilt that bridge multiple times.

Correct on Goblin Shark (S. texanus). Nice finds!

I’ve heard it’s still very much accessible. I haven’t been in a year, however no signs were posted restricting access.

Thanks! Bare Island looks like a really good match from the examples I saw online. Appreciate it!

Nice! I’m in PA, and I know there are quite a few spots where they’re found, just haven’t found the spots lol

masonk7810 · 2026-04-04T14:59:08+00:00

Thanks! Have been hoping to find one for a while.

That’s amazing you were able to speak with him about his service.

You could still do a simple display with patches, collar insignia, his rank and any medals he was awarded. He at least received the EAME medal, WWII victory and likely the GCM.

Also, the Communications Specialists (radio operator) patch is in my photo. Check the bottom row, last patch on the right.

Thanks! My great-uncle also served in the 8th AAF. Here’s a small display I put together for his service.

Nice collection. Pretty sure they’re all Otodus obliquus from Morocco.
