Hi, these are some of the bone fragments I found recently in Monmouth County, NJ (Big Brook and Ramanessin Brook). I know how hard it is to assign bone fragments to any species but some of these have some unique features that maybe someone with more knowledge than me has something to say. Number 1 (from left to right) is bent, maybe some part of a jaw? Number 2 is quite curious, very smooth at the top with a bulge and a triangular indent on one side. Piece of some turtle armor perhaps? Number 3 is flat and smooth on one side with a line running through it. Maybe a turtle also? Number 4 is super thick almost like a finger bone. But also smooth on one end with a line running through. The liner is slightly more irregular than that of Number 2. Number 5 is a lot bigger with an indent on one edge. But probably also quite stream-worn.

Hello! I took one of our kids to check out the Cretaceous Monmouth County NJ scene! It was very cold last weekend so it was a quick visit with nothing that appears too unique but hoping we can get some ID help and be better prepared for next time as we get make learn more about exploring and documenting. Thank you!

Hi All, I was looking for assistance in identifying some shark teeth I've found in the Monmouth County Brooks (Big Brook and Ramanessin Brook). I think I have an idea, but am still learning so was hoping for some confirmation. Thanks in advance for any help! (Ruler is in CM - each line 1/10cm) Photo 1: I believe these are all Goblin (Scapanorhynchus) Anterior? Photo 2: Columns 1, 2 and 3 - Goblin Leteral, Column 4 - Goblin Anterior Photo 3 - I believe all are Goblin Leteral Photo 4 - A species of Mackeral Shark? Cretolamna appendiculata or Archaeolamna kopingensis?

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.

My family and I made the trek to Big Brook in Monmouth County, NJ today, and we found some new-to-us stuff! The shark cartilage/skin (or maybe it is some sort of fish scales?) is pretty cool. The pycnodont teeth are pretty awesome, too!
