Hi all, I found this tooth in a Monmouth County stream and was wondering what type of shark it is? I would have thought cretalamna appendiculata, but it has bourlette, and I don’t know any shark teeth in the navesink formation that have bourlette. It is about 3/5 of an inch. @The Jersey Devil @Trevor @Darktooth. TIA

Hello, I found this object a many years ago. It was the first fossil that I remember finding. The rock in my area (Hamilton, NJ) is mostly from the Jurassic and Cretaceous, but there is a small section of Cambrian rock and a lot of glacial deposits. I found it on a path in a park, so it could have been brought there by the park managers. It looks like a leaf to me but I could be wrong. It also has a small indent at the bottom. I hope that you can identify it. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone, found this mysterious tooth in a cretaceous stream in New Jersey. Haven't come across any similar or anything I can really compare it to, plus its kinda worn. Which doesn't help but the leaf-like shape alone is very interesting, hopefully this one can be figured out.

Hello All, First let me say that I am happy to have this forum. It is great to have such a diverse community at our finger tips. I have lots of common beach finds that I am not able to ID and so I am wondering if I should stop picking them up. Thoughts and advice as to what these fragments might be. I’m especially interested in the top left corner items, as I do not know what formed them into that shape. Everything Else I can identify - gastropod molds, Indian point, teeth, coral, and maybe some bone fragments. The last 3 pics are of an item I found a few years ago in the same area. I did not know what it was until I got it home and cleaned it up -glad I did not leave that one Be! It is amazing.

Hi, I’m hoping to get to big brook or ramanessin brook this week and was wondering which I would have a better chance at finding a mosasaur tooth, and, if there are any other places I’d have better chance at finding one?

I found this shark tooth yesterday that I cannot seem to match with anything that is typically found in the Cretaceous brooks of Monmouth County, NJ. What has me baffled are the tiny serrations on the shoulders of the tooth enamel right next to the root. I tried to capture the serrations in the second photo. I wish more of the root was there, but it is what it is. The tooth is very small, roughly 1/4 inches. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I took advantage of the warm weather yesterday after an unusually cold May day on Saturday to visit one of the Cretaceous brooks of Monmouth County, NJ. I spent about 4 hours collecting. I ended up staying in one spot and I am so glad I did not move. The spot just kept producing. Every screen had at least one fossil tooth in it. Some of the shark teeth were the largest, most complete shark teeth I have in my collection. I left a lot of the smaller, more broken shark teeth there because I was finding so much. I also found two Enchodus palatine fangs, a nearly complete fish vertebra, two Anornaeodus phaseolus crusher teeth, a crustacean walking leg, two Ischyrhiza mira rostral spines, a cow nosed ray dermal denticle, and a tiny piece of coral. Towards the end of the day, I even found a mosasaur tooth in one of my last screens. Unfortunately the brook had already gotten to it and it was split in half and worn down. Better luck next time! Here are some of my favorite finds from yesterday: Mosasaur tooth (Mosasaurus sp.) Goblin Shark Anterior Tooth (Scapanorhynchus texanus) Juvenile Goblin Shark Anterior Tooth (Scapanorhynchus texanus) Goblin Shark Lateral Tooth (Scapanorhynchus texanus) Goblin Shark Lateral Tooth (Scapanorhynchus texanus) Mackerel Shark Posterior Tooth (Archaeolamna kopingensis) Crow Shark Lateral Tooth (Squalicorax kaupi) Sawfish Rostral Spine (Ischyrhiza mira) Cow Nosed Ray Dermal Denticle (Possibly Rhombodus laevis) Pycnodont Crusher Tooth (Anornaeodus phaseolus) Fish Vertebra Tiny Piece of Coral

I found this bone today in Monmouth County NJ while searching for shark teeth in the river. It is about 3 inches long and I'm not even sure if it is a fossil or not as it doesn't feel that heavy. Any help with ID is much appreciated.

Hi everyone, Here’s a NJ Mosasaur vertebra I found a while back in a Cretaceous stream. It’s a rather unusual looking one, as it’s got some bully processes on the ventral side, is overall flattened, and tapers slightly toward the convex end. It might be preserved well enough to be able to tell if it’s Halisaurus. It is ~1.5”. If any more views are necessary, I can provide them. @non-remanié @Trevor @Carl @frankh8147 Thanks!

I recently took a trip to Monmouth County and found these two fragments. My guess is that they are ratfish, but I was not quite sure. The second piece threw me for a loop based on the little holes on the flat surface, as seen in the last photo. Any help is greatly appreciated. #1 #2

Hello everyone, found this hallowed out bone in Big Brook nj. It is rock solid and when I did the burn test on it, it remain unscathed with no smell so I definitely think its fossilized bone. I'm not to sure if it's identifiable as is, any thoughts on this one will be appreciated.

Hello everyone, I was in Big Brook nj for a little while today and found this interesting bone. I'm not to sure if it's identifiable but it does remind me of a jaw section like a mosasaur or croc. Any help will appreciated, if I missed an angle or need additional pictures do let me know.
-
Found what appears to be a tooth fragment. It was found in creek in Monmouth County. It’s not conical but semi flat which would eliminate Mosasaur, Croc or such I would imagine. The tip is white which is very unusual. If anyone has any thoughts please let me know.

Hello. The following items remain in my "take it back to the lab to analyze" section of my findings. I have not been able to id any by looking thru books and online references. It just may be that they are nothing but unique patterned rocks. However, I do know I have at least one claw although I can't tell what it came from. Any help is always very appreciated. Did my best with the pics.. And thanks in advance.
