Found two tooth-looking things at big brook. The small black one i am leaning toward mosasaur but no clue on the bigger tan one. Maybe a bigger mosasaur or xiphactinus fang? What do you all think. Thank you for any help!

What's going on everyone? Been going to Poricy park and have some other things that I will post later ( also some finds from trips big brook). One of the strangest things I came across was this bone...would anyone know what this is ? I don't believe it is modern because it feels like solid rock when I slightly tapping against the ground. Let me know what you guys think.

I'm pretty sure I found my first Plesiosaur tooth in the streams of Monmouth County. Can anyone confirm? Thank you

My son and I found this in Big Brook, NJ. That area has fossils from the Cretaceous and Pleistocene periods. Need help identifying what it is.

Hello everyone, I have dwindling amounts of material from my trip to paupack to be identified. This is some spiriferids from the trilobite ridge, these were especially numerous. Some layers were basically made out of them. I'd like to get a species or at least a genus on these guys, the loose one I'm thinking of labeling and placing in a river mount, then sending it to the land owner. The formation is questionable as there are many present, although it's probably lower Devonian (although some late Silurian exist).

Hello all, was wondering if this is a fish tooth or something more interesting? I haven't seen anything like it before, but maybe it's just enchodus again. Thank you for any help!

This is from the Campanian of New Jersey. Ankylosaur, some other dinosaur tooth, or something else? What do you guys think? The tooth crown is ~4mm long by ~3mm wide.

Hello, I found a couple of pretty little shark teeth and belemnites on my first trip to Big Brook,NJ, but I have no idea what these objects are. On the rounded one perhaps a vertebra? The darker object perhaps a bone fragment? Appreciate any help and information. Thank you!

Hello all, I usually post up photos of shark teeth and other misc things, but this time I'll only ask for help with the more unusual fossils I've come across at big brook NJ. First photo I thought enchodus teeth. Second xiphactinus or enchodus again. third and fourth photo (same fossil) maybe jaw or beaver tooth. fifth photo no clue but maybe bone? sixth photo looks like fossil cocoa pebbles.. Last three photos are of the most interesting find, no idea but was hoping it would be a chunk of tooth. Thank you for any help in IDing these.

A trip in Ramanessin Brook bearing some EPIC finds!
Fossilian posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Seventy-two million years ago, the place I live was underwater where sharks and all marine life swam. A shark shed its teeth frequently in its lifetime. No wonder the most of the fossils we found are shark teeth. The biggest one we found is approximately 2 inches long. The smallest is 1/10 of its size, both shiny and perfect. On our first trip, we met two ladies coming out of the trail. She frequents to the site weekly along with her sister. Her face lightened up when she showed us the "treasures" she found stored in a small Mentos mint box. " You will enjoy it. It's like only you and nature," she said as she directed us in the direction of the stream. The water splashes and hops over the rock, dense forest blocks the noise from the occasional passing cars, a man running with his barking dog breaks the serenity for a few seconds. But the rest of time, you are truly with nature only. You are with nature which connects you and the creatures that existed 72 million years ago swimming right where you are standing. My 2 favorite finds of the day. A colonial pipe fragment and a TINY, FLAWLESS, and SHINY shark tooth.

Sterling Hill Mine's "Big Diggg" on Saturday 4/29, Ogdensberg, NJ
RandyB posted a topic in Rocks & Minerals
Heading to The Big Diggg this weekend, anyone else going? For those who don't know the area there are 2 mines in/near Ogdensberg, NJ that are world renowned for minerals that fluoresce under UV light, particularly short wave UV light. Once a year they open not just the regular collecting area, but other sections of the mine grounds including night collecting. If you are a glowhound it's a great time to try and find specimens to add to your collection. This will be my 4th year and last year was my best for colleccting by far. Managed to team up with a couple of others which allowed us to combine our efforts and break some very large boulders down to manageable size targeting mineral types (and fluorescent colors) I hadn't found before. Here's some samples under regular light and short-wave UV:

This was found in the spoils from dredging the C&D Canal in the 1980s. Recent removal of spoils sand for road construction in the area exposed previously- inaccessible layers of sand. It is currently one of the most common finds at the site.
