Jetties can cause beach larceny on an even grander scale. Long concrete or rock structures, they jut out into the water to keep inlets and harbors navigable by keeping sand and silt from drifting in.

Young, whose find was announced last week, has no idea what species of dinosaur produced the eggs, but they may shed new light on nesting habits of the prehistoric beasts.
