Low tide on Myrtle Beach reveals what could be 100,000 year old fossils, expert says Low tide in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, revealed what one expert says are fossils that could be up to 100,000 years old. Take a look at the video above. It shows a fossilized beach that is almost as old as Earth's most recent Ice Age. The local expert says remains like these are often underneath the feet of beachgoers and swimmers, but a thin layer of sand covers them closer to shore. The expert says farther out in the water these fossilized areas create a good habitat for fish.
