Found on the bay while vacationing near Cape May NJ. Possibly identification was a stromatopotoid sponge fossil. I was also curious what the spherical structure imbedded could be. Thank you!

Hi all, I was looking over some finds from Sunset Beach when I reexamined this and thought it looked organic. Sticks to my tongue, feels relatively heavy. Is this a fossil bone? Sunset Beach is awesome and I definitely recommend the visit, especially before the shipwreck is fully lost to the sea. Fossils seem really rare there, but the colorful quartz and minerals polished by waves make up for it.

Can anyone help me identify these potential fossils that I found at Sunset Beach in Cape May, NJ?

Hello everyone, I apologise in advance for the lower quality photos, my phone is quite old and the camera is going. Anyways, I was down in Cape May this past weekend and I decided to beach comb on sunset beach. i found several interesting items, and I was wondering if I can get some input regarding what they are. The first two images seem to be a similar type of fossil (if it is one). I am wondering if it could potentially be Paleozoic (if anything?). However, I am not sure exactly what it is, nor the material that it is made of. The third image I think could be coral, but I am not sure what type or how old given that it is out of context but any info would be appreciated. The last two images involve an interesting one. Now, for context, I have a background in Paleoecology and Taphonomy, and have had to id thousands of bones that date back as far as the Pliocene. While this could undoubtedly be a rock, (it always can!). However, for me...it really, really, looked like water rolled bone. In the last image, you can see that it is quite porous (in a way that looks more like cancelous bone) and the rock in itself is quite light. If it is bone, it would be quite old...but still, i am undoubtedly open minded that I could be wrong and it could just be a rock! What do you think? Anyways, thank you so much for taking a look!- 8 replies

Heya~! I recently returned from a trip to Cape May, NJ and spent most of my trip on Sunset and Higbee beach picking through the rocks and shells looking for cool stuff. I really want to get into rock hounding/fossil collecting, but I didn't really know what I was looking at so I just grabbed a bunch of stuff that I thought looked neat or interesting. I'm really happy with my haul but I was wondering if any of you nice folks could tell me if I have anything of particular interest? This photo has two that I'm sure are coral fossils, but I don't know what species. The other things looked interesting but I'm not familiar enough with types of rocks to know if any of them are something special or just a cool looking weather worn rock: In this photo, I have some that I thought may be fossils, or that at least had interesting patterns on them: In particular I thought these 3 seemed interesting: Lastly, a few with cool patterns on them. I don't think any of these are fossils but I was wondering if some of these may be petrified wood or something else interesting? Bonus! Rocks, shells, and sea glass that I just thought looked neat! I don't necessarily need an ID on these unless you see something of interest; just wanted to share~! I'm not expecting anything to be mind blowing but if anyone is able to help me identify some of these, or point me towards resources I could use to do it myself, I'd really appreciate it! Like I said I'm very new to all of this so I'm not totally sure what I'm looking at. Really, any help at all is SUPER appreciated. Thanks in advance! PS: I can definitely take more angles of some if you need! I had so many that I didn't want to take pictures of all of them.
