Vertebrate material of any kind is extremely rare at this locality. However, this is the most common vertebrate represented at Reedy Point. Found while sifting through micro matrix collected from an especially prolific, recently exposed spot that will soon be removed by bulldozers.

Everyone said NSR was dry and picked over but I hiked 9 hrs and found some cool stuff. My favorites are the Protostega costal bone with partial rib head preserved, the mosasaur bone with bite mark and the artifacts. I walked in tracks all day but the river is too large for someone to get everything and people miss quite a bit.

I found this hunting a creek in the Eutaw, Al area - Late Cretaceous. Could this be Enchodus or something else entirely?

Hi everyone, I was at the Big Brook Preserve lately, and in amongst the usual batch of oysters, shark teeth, belemnites, and an ammonite fragment I found one piece which I can't quite identify. I initially thought it was a piece of Enchodus jaw, but when I got it into better light I wasn't so sure. It seems to have definite bone texture to it and I am almost certain it's fossilized, but it doesn't quite match with anything I can think of. (Sorry if the pictures aren't great, I tried the best I could with my desk lamp.) Thanks!

I’ve had Big Brook and Ramanessin on my shark tooth hunting list for a while and finally made it up to both today. It’s a 6-hour roundtrip drive from where I live and with the days still pretty short this time of year, I had originally planned to spend my limited time just at Big Brook. After an hour-and-a-half of mostly striking out on shark teeth there, however, I decided to head over to Ramanessin, which both @Bob-ay and @PaleoNoel had recommended. Luckily, the two spots are only about 10 minutes apart, so I didn’t waste much time in transit, and I was rewarded with much better gravels at R

Good evening to all participants! I have accumulated a lot of local (from Ukraine) material - I decided to sort it out, and recurring fossils, or not of interest to me, offers you an exchange. Everything in the photos is one lot. Consists of: 1. Tile from Carboniferous period with fern print; 2. A fragment of the armor of a armored fish Podolaspis Lerichei of the Devonian period; 3. Tile with Silrian brachiopods and tentaculites; 4. Mollusk of Neogene; 5. A small fragment of a fossilized araucaria of the Carboniferous period with quartzite crystals; 6. 2 fragments of orthocer

Beautiful day (60 degrees) but the brook was still too cold for my feet. I think I found my best Enchodus Petrosus tooth and jaw by far 1.75 inches by 1.4 inches. 2 carinae. Hoping for confirmation from you folks. Thank you

I was very fortunate to win the christmas acution lot H that praefectus put up. This lot was composed of a spinosaur tooth and enchodus fang and partial jaw. They are really pretty fossils that will have a good home in my collection. The enchodus was in matrix, and I cleaned up a little more around the fossil, so now I hav e additional bone fragments that I would like to ask for help in understanding. On the lower right is a piece of a vertebrae?. In the lower left ther is another segment of jaw with part of a root for a tooth, What if anything can be made of the larger white blobs? A

Earlier I asked for help in id of a couple pieces of what was identified as enchodus jaw. This surprised me because it was seemed different to me, in that the teeth were thick and curved. It makes me wonder if these multiple teeth, and jaw pieces are enchodus or something else. I would really appreciate it if you guys could look these over and tell me what you see. All have been photographed on simple notebook paper (ie each line has the exact same spacing-- distorted by my camera)

My 29th trip to Big Brook and I decided to try to get there by an unnamed tributary I found on a map. Got to explore an area with little evidence of usage as shown by the paucity of glass and plastic. Overgrown and thorny and I think I saw my first bear footprint (photo below). Posted below are photos of what I think is an Enchodus jaw and two teeth and also what I think is a partial crab claw but much bigger than any I’ve found before. I also think I found my first arrowhead. Any info greatly appreciated.

Today was my 27th trip to Big Brook. Cold to start but not as cold as last week when I had to give up and leave. Park rules only allow you to keep 6 “artifacts”. So here is what I found. Which 6 would you suggest i keep? And why? Thank you all

NJ Cretaceous Mosasaur partial tooth and Enchodus or X-Fish fang?
Fishinfossil posted a topic in Fossil ID
Morning out a few weeks back in NJ Cretaceous streams and found what I think is a enamel chip from a mosasaur tooth. The other appears to be possible fang from Enchodus or X-Fish? Any confirmations on either of those? Thanks. Please excuse picture clarity, just have Iphone today. -
For the rank amateurs here is it possible to explain the differences and how to identify these teeth? Of lesser importance I am attaching photos of 3 inch to inch and a half teeth I had previously thought were all Enchodus and then 2 small half inch fragments found yesterday, both heavily striated. As always thank you all

Well, we've had Brachiopods and Trilobites, so I figured let's give fish a try! I am going to start this off with my Enchodus marchesettii from the Hakel Quarry of Lebanon. Not only is this fossil 100% complete with the only restoration done was repairing the matrix itself, but I received this from one of my good friends on none other than my birthday! This is my favorite fossil in my ENTIRE collection! More will come from the Greenriver side of my collection, I just gotta get my camera fixed

Found what I believe is a Enchodus Fish tooth? Can anyone help identify or confirm. Has enamel and bone still attached. Was found in New Jersey, Cretaceous period.

My 18th trip to Big Brook this morning. Trying to get to other spots not just the same honey holes. Explored the Kovalski tributary today. A lot of downed trees to climb over or under. Unfortunately not very productive. My most interesting finds were a couple of broken bottles; one Hunyadi Janos Saxlehner Bitterquelle circa 1900 and the other the bottom of what looks like a wine bottle but very thick and clearly not made in a modern bottle factory. My most plentiful finds were the garbage - metal, plastic and mostly glass - which I pick up and carry out. I’ll be back next week and already psy

Hello all another Saturday morning in Big Brook. Explored the Kovalski tributary which was not very productive. I did find a couple of old broken bottles that I posted about it “trips”. I did find this tooth, 1 1/8 inches which I believe is Enchodus and if not then other fish, not shark. Thank you for your expertise as always
