Hi all. Thanks for any help in identifying this. My initial guess is fossilized stony coral of some type. Possibly favosite? Found on the northern end beach of Brigantine Island NJ, one of the southern barrier islands. Measures 14 cm on its longest "side" and weighs 10.1 oz. Color is light brown-gray with blue hues It encases a clam shell, looks like an Atlantic Surf Clam Macro-lens photos show structure that appears like honeycomb throughout Has a number of larger stoma-like holes/tubes. Thanks in advance for any thoughts. (Hopefully images are decent. Had to compress them heavily so quality might be iffy)

Hello I'm currently a college student studying biology and living in New Jersey. I've always loved going to museums especially the AMNH as a kid to see the dinosaurs and have grown up with a passion for biology. Recently I've started collecting primarily shark teeth and any other fossils that I find in my home state. Since I love fossils and always looking to learn more I decided to join the forum.

Hey all, i found both of these in Big Brook, New Jersey. Cretaceous period. I am still new, and I just wanted to know if the first two pics could be a possible piece of a tooth? Dino fossils have been found here before, although I'm not going to get my hopes up. I was also wondering if the third pic is first off, fossilized, and if so, what did it come from?! I'm going to post more photos in the next message. thanks all. BrettCo

Where to go on a weekend spring fossil hunt with my son
Adam86cucv posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
My son is turning 7 soon and want to take him on a weekend trip to fossil hunt. We've been to Calvert Cliffs, Brownies Beach, and Swatara State Park. Ideally in a 200 mile or so radius from central Maryland (Frederick area). I had thought about going to Big Brook in New Jersey and anything else in that area since Big Brook is only 5 per person a day and maybe on the way home detouring to the C&D canal dredging piles. I would like to be able to hunt both Saturday and Sunday morning before heading home in the afternoon. I also thought of doing Purse State Park one day and then over to the Calvert Cliffs or nearby beaches. The downfall of that could be the tide not being in our favor. I am also not opposed to the idea of heading into the hills and busting rocks. It would be cool to go somewhere with Trilobites. As far as my son is concerned, he enjoys getting to look for fossils either way. My biggest criteria is somewhere that is without a doubt legal to be fossil hunting and safe...not a road cut on a busy interstate. Thanks Adam -

Hey all, I am New to the forum, and very happy to be here with all of you. I live close to Philadelphia, but have been traveling to New Jersey to a well known creek that dates back to the Cretaceous period to hunt for fossils. I found this one thing and I have no clue what it is. Perhaps you'd be able to assist? since I can't post too many photos in the same message, I'm going to add a couple more possible fossils that I don't know how to ID. thanks for having me here everybody! brettco
