I found this tiny, stream worn tooth a few months ago and was looking for opinions/information on it. I showed it to local paleontologists and was told it may be a theropod tooth but it's tough to be certain on a worn, isolated tooth. The tooth has faint serrations on both sides but they are much larger and are more visible on the distal side. The root section looks broken up but hopefully my pictures will give you an idea. It's tough to get good pictures of it due to it's size but here's my best effort. As always, all help is greatly appreciated! -Frank

Hey everyone! Even though we are well into 2019 I thought I should share my top ten finds of the year. These will not be ranked as each one has their own value to me although some are rarer than others. Let me know if you want a better view of any of the fossils. 1. Bird Talon (Hawk or other raptor), Peace River, Florida.

A friend of mine spotted this on the beach at Belmar, NJ yesterday February 2nd. This is kind of an unusual locale, adjacent to the jetty at Shark River Inlet where the Shark River meets the Atlantic. In the past my buddy and I have found small beachworn fossil shark teeth at this spot, so we thought for old time's sake we'd take a quick look again. We didn't find any teeth (there's much less fine gravel there now than in the past) but he did find this, which is way bigger than anything we've found here before. I have some guesses but I would like other eyes on this too in case I'm missing something obvious. Thanks in advance

Hello everyone! I found this conical tooth last weekend in the Big Brook area of Monmouth County, NJ; it is a shade under 1 inch long. My best guess on it is Plesiosaur but I wanted to see what everyone had to say on it before I labeled it as such. As always, all help is greatly appreciated. Happy collecting! -Frank

Hi! I hunt the creeks in and around NJ for fossils pretty frequently, but found one today that I've not previously seen and can't find any matching pics online for either. I found it in Ramanessin Creek in Holmdel, NJ. I was thinking maybe a fish jaw/mouth bone, but not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kushmeja

Hello! I found this last year in a Cretaceous site in Monmouth County, New Jersey last year and wanted to know what it came from. I could be way off on this one but I was thinking possible crocodile due to that 'divot'. It's probably very stream worn and measures a little over a 1/2-inch long. Thanks! -Frank

Was going through a box of material from Holmdel, Monmouth County, New Jersey (Upper Cretaceous) and came across these two pieces that I can't identify. My best guess is that they are both concretions, but I wanted to ask the hive mind before I discard them. In full disclosure, I am offloading all of my Cretaceous material so if either of these is something significant, I will either be selling or donating them. Thanks Dave

Hi, I'm a new user so please excuse me if I don't have everything you need. I found this potential fossil in Northern NJ (Bergen County) and I was wondering if anyone knows if it is in fact a fossil. I have found many fossils (mostly of shells) over the years in the same area, but this is different from anything else I've seen. I would love to know if it is a fossil. If it is a fossil, I'd also love to know what it is and how old it may be. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! Jon

Hello! I found this 1.5 inch tooth yesterday in Monmouth County New Jersey Cretaceous and was hoping for some help on it. Xiphactinus was my most likely suspect due to the two cutting edges but it seems way too thin, and does not show any 'fluting'. Also, by (what is left of) the base, it has that 'bony' look I am not used to seeing. I found the old thread below regarding a tooth that looks similar and a lot of commenters thought it was Protosphyraena so I was wondering if that's what this could be. I can tell you, it's definitely late Cretaceous. Thanks for all the ID help this year! -Frank

My late Cretaceous lungfish from New Jersey
frankh8147 posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
Hello all! I was going to wait for the study to come out but I figure since it is now on display at the New Jersey State Museum, I would post this now. This is my late Cretaceous lungfish from Monmouth County New Jersey. It was first looked at here, on this forum (thread below) and was later confirmed by and donated to the NJSM. There have only two late Cretaceous lungfish fossils found from Eastern America so coming up with guy was a dream come true! It's currently being displayed at the NJSM for their "A Decade of Collecting" exhibit. The study on these specimens should be out in a few months so more to come. @njfossilhunter @Trevor
