As suggested by Dr. Earl Manning this may be the first occurrence of Paramobula fragilis reported from New Jersey. As the name implies these things are fragile and are normally found incomplete as is this one. Looking to see if anyone knows of previous specimens from NJ. Specimen will most likely end up in the New Jersey State Museum collection.
