Hello and thank you for letting me join your forum. My name is Lindsey and today my family went to Big Brook in NJ for the first time, looking for some shark teeth. We found some interesting things and we've got no idea where to even start with identifying the things we bought home. Can you please point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance for your help and I hope you're all having a great week. Lindsey.

Found these teeth in Big Brook,NJ today. First one I’m sure is a mosasaur but I’ve no idea on the second one. Thanks.

Big brook, NJ bone fragment find. Anyone have any ideas what part it is? Process is very porous and brittle. Light weight low density. There are 2 foramens and possibly a partial of a 3rd along the same ridge line the others follow. I tried comparing it to mammal vertebrae and skull bones. I thought the foramens would provide enough anatomy to pin point an ID but not successful. Attached are images. Please excuse the remaining purplish clay I used trying to reconstruct.

Hi. I found this tooth today and it looks like it has worn down serrations. I was wondering anyone can help with the ID on this. @The Jersey Devil

I just took my friends out for a fossil trip their first time yesterday; where we could all get together and do something cool and introduce them to the fun pastime and interesting research I dabble in for my birthday. I should’ve known he’d have beginners luck but I was not expecting this find when he plucked it out from the water. They all had a blast and it was a beautiful day. Any and all input into trying to discern what creature it could’ve came from? The more the merrier! A couple other angles

Hey so a few days ago I went to Big Brook and found a few dozen teeth along with some ray teeth, gastropods, and fish teeth, and these are my questionable specimens. IDs would be helpful! I'm thinking 1st is enchodus jaw, 3rd is some fish crusher tooth, 6th might be a fish jaw or bone material, 7th is possibly an enchodus jaw, 9th could be a scute or bone material, 11th looks like half a ray tooth. But I would like other people's opinions too on my finds. Thank you! Also I am pretty confident on this being a reptile bone but also want an opinion on it

Found this large vertebra in Big Brook 7/24/21. Measures 1.5” x 1” x .5” In the last picture it’s next to vertebra I usually find for size compassion. Any ideas? Thanks.

I ventured to the NJ brooks last weekend and made it to both Big Brook and Ramanessin Brook (Cretaceous, mix of Navesink and Mt. Laurel formations I believe). I found a few goblin and crow shark teeth, but need some help with ID for a few other finds. Thanks in advance for any help! Here are some detailed images of each. #1: concretion, or tooth? #2, definitely looks like a vertebra, but for a fish or shark? #3 also looks like a vert, or is it another concretion? #4: I fou

Hello all! After a long time away, I managed to get myself down to New Jersey to fossil hunt! Sadly, it was this last Friday, and over 95 degrees, so I was not as productive as I had hoped, and spent a lot of time sitting on my butt, boots in the water, just kind of vaguely looking around. (If anyone was suffering there with me friday, i was wearing a barfing t-rex shirt and was probably alarmingly pink in the face). However, I got a passable haul of shark teeth, belemnites, and quite a few dunnos! The larger one in matrix i suspect is a crustacean claw, the weird conical one maybe a weat

Hello, below are photos of some verts I found at Big Brook Park in Marlboro NJ. (Late cretaceous, Mount Laurel formation). I thought they were both ray verts, upon taking another look however I noticed there are some slight differences in their build. I wanted to see if anyone had any clarification for me. I've checked the usual sites, njfossils.net and njfossils.com, but I think I don't know how to interpret different features. I took photos of each face (anterior, posterior),and tops and bottoms (dorsal/ventral sides). Both were found, to my knowledge, in the Mount Laurel format

Anyone have any ideas what this might be. Found in Big Brook, NJ 7/16/2021. Approximately 3/4” x 1/2”. Thanks

Sorry for all the posts, but I'm trying to post some of the bizarre/unidentified pieces from my big brook fossil collection. Here is the best example of a fossil I've found a few of over the years. I assume it's some type of shelled cephalopod, but I have no idea what. Once again going to call @Trevor for his help, and hope I'm not being rude in doing so!

After seeing all of the interesting things people had found in Big Brook NJ i looked through my unknowns and thought I would ask for help. If I had found the fossil in A and B in florida I would have called it worn dugong rib. However I dont recall dugong coming out of NJ therefore I dont really know what it is, ?wood? The next set are a couple of pieces that may be sandstone, or ironstone, or maybe fossil unknowns. they all have a mild c shape, oval shape with layered central depressions. they were similar enough for me to keep them but i dont even know if the all or any a

Big piece of petrified driftwood and possible fragment of pet wood from Big Brook, NJ
TRexEliot posted a topic in Fossil ID
The first is a large piece of petrified driftwood I found in Big Brook a couple years ago, the second is a fragment I am trying to ID. I noticed that the grain texture on the fragment looked like the wood grain on my piece of petrified wood, so I am trying to figure out if it might be petrified wood as well. Thanks! @Trevor -
Hello guys , I found some bones in big brook (Cretaceous fossiles), nj and I don't know if they are modern or ice age. I also added another strange fossil I found but can't id

Just found this earlier today. Thought it was an enchodus until I noticed the conic root. I assume it's some type of aquatic reptile given the location and the similarity to mosasaur teeth I've found, but much more narrow than any mosasaur teeth I've found.
