Pecten sp
Manasquan Formation
Eocene
Monmouth County, NJ
This is relatively common but is often fragmentary. Weller only gives Pecten sp as present in the unit while Whitfield doesn't recognize any Pecten. Pecten kneiskerni is present in the slightly younger Shark River Formation and I am tempted to assign that to these older specimens. This particular specimen looks less like a typical Pecten than the others.

Piece of what I believe is reptile rib bone from Big Brook, NJ. Bone fibers are very dense - any chance it could be dinosaur?
