From the album: Fossildude's Late Triassic Lockatong Formation Fossils
A complete, if yet unprepped, specimen of the late Triassic coelacanth, Diplurus newarki. Not sure how I will go about prepping this, but I have a few options. Late Triassic, (Rhaetian). Lockatong Formation, Newark Supergroup, North Bergen, NJ.© © 2015 Tim Jones

has anyone visited the Granton Quarry in North Bergen New Jersey in recent years? And if so, any success? There were a couple of threads here about it but nothing posted more recently than 2013 -

With the discussion of using potassium hydroxide to prep clay based matrices I procured some Granton material from the magnanimous Tim @Fossildude19. He sent me several fragments with bits of coelacanth in them for me to experiment with. I very carefully placed a few flakes on the matrix with long tweezers (it is a VERY strong base and will mess you up if you're not careful) and watched in amazement as it immediately began to become liquid. I let this sit overnight and rinsed in clear water. There was no visible effect on the matrix so back into the dish it went for further treatme

Fossildude19, JefferyP, fossilsofnj and I went to Granton Quarry in North Bergen NJ to collect in the Lockatong Fm for Triassic fish. We had a great time and we all found some interesting specimens to add to our collections While the others were hard at work I came across a rather interesting flatten oval shaped sediment between two layers of the black shale in a small area I was working and at first I really didn't pay to much attention to it until one of them broke apart and I noticed that they seemed to be filled with tiny fish bones. I took the sections of slabs home and two days later too

I found this very small bone in a piece of shale from Granton Quarry in the G4 section of the Lockatong formation. It doesn't look like any fish bone that I have found before,,,But that doesn't mean any thing since I'm no expert in this area. It measures 4mm in length and is black . The fish that I have found in the past seams to have a coating of shale residue and when sometimes removed can expose white bones of the fish. I took the photo with my Dino-lite and tried to take the best pictures at different angles Any help would be great. Click to enlarge

From the album: Fossildude's Late Triassic Lockatong Formation Fossils
Bones of a partial late Triassic coelacanth, Diplurus newarki. These layers are extremely hard to split. However, these layers (partially metamorphosed?) also preserve bones and scales very well, either in white or blue. (The blue is indicative of de-phosphatization.) The first and second dorsal fin bones are just visible -still partially covered at the top of the fossil. Also visible are the partially disarticulated Y-shaped vertebral bones (veterbral processes?) Note also the blue scales. Late Triassic, (Rhaetian). Lockatong Formation, Newark Supergroup, North Bergen, NJ.© © 2016 Tim Jones

A pair of fish on one small slab. I believe the ray-finned fish is either Synorichthys sp. or Turseodus sp. You can see the body of a Diplurus newarki just below the other fish scales. Late Triassic, (Rhaetian) Lockatong Formation, Newark Supergroup, North Bergen, New Jersey.© © 2015 Tim Jones

Tantalizing Trip To The Triassic! (Picture Heavy)
Fossildude19 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hello all! Recently, I had the chance to meet up with a few forum members, and hunt the historic Granton Quarry, in North Bergen NJ. Last Monday, March 31st, I was up at the crack of dawn, 4:00 am, to hit the road and meet my partner for today, forum member Jeffrey P, in Newburgh, NY. I left my house in central Connecticut at 4:15 am, eager to be on the road, and heading towards the Triassic exposures of the Lockatong formation. An hour and a half later, after encountering heavy downpours and sporadic showers, I arrived at the appointed meeting place, a McDonalds parking lot, ju
