It would seem that some of what we see today was. The hill behind my house is 6 or 700 feet high and I find small Abalone shells in the hillsides up
there.

Wondering, myself, why anyone would want to store Abalone shells up there?

If you're talking western shoreline of Baja, i suggest you go to the CONANP thread in General Discussions and watch the 12 minute video at the top of
their home page. They have a good section in it showing areas around San Quintin and El Rosario, going quite a ways inland too, and it will explain
the different shorelines over the last few thousand- to few million years. There's been ice ages coming and going, and rise and fall of sea levels as
well as lifting and moving of shorelines. Those abalone shells are not uncommon.
Also, if it's a hilltop, it could have been a nice place to dine and watch the sunset. On the top of Isla Requeson in Bahia Conception are ancient
middens of early inhabitants thousands of years ago feasting on oysters, clams and scallops. Might want to look for worked pieces of chert (gray to
red to black) that may have been chipped into sharp edges...... could be an archaeological site.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

On top of the mesa, near Bahia las Animas are plenty of shells from Indian's (and Spaniards'?) meals... Sleeping circles and shells... and those
strange walls: http://vivabaja.com/109

Also some sleeping-circles (etc.) along the shoreline of BOLA on hill sides and tops of hills, both north and south of BOLA, and within the south part
of the bay.
