Going back through some of my early finds. I collected this guy back in 2002. My identification tag merely says "Manasquan? 2002". I know, I know, naughty not to keep better records. The preservation does indeed look like material from the Eocene Manasquan Formation from the Manasquan River and at that time, most of my collecting was occurring in the stretch of the river that is largely upstream from the mixed Miocene/Eocene basal Kirkwood. I did, of course, also visit Cretaceous localities, and I can't entirely rule that out. Ideas for what kind of creature this is from?

From the album: Eocene Corals of NJ
I am pretty confident in this identification. The curve is in the plane of the longer axis which is supposedly diagnostic. These are cited as the most common coral in the Manasquan Formation. Found in Monmouth County, New Jersey.- 1 comment

I'm still working on going through my old finds from the Eocene aged Manasquan Formation of Monmouth County, New Jersey. I could definitely use some other eyes on these pieces. All of these were picked up from gravel bars of a stream and could be of Eocene or Pleistocene age. 1 - I think this is a bivalve with the beak at the top. The reverse picture below, I think, reinforces this. 2 - I'm not used to this texture. Perhaps glacially deposited, but, is it just geologic? 3 - Similar texture to #2. The easy call would be a shell impression 4 - Again, similar texture to #2 and #3. Close up picture below. 5 - Perhaps just a concretion or stone, but I keep seeing bivalve. 6 - Coral? Bivalve? Nothing? This is the normal Manasquan Formation texture for steinkerns. See other views below. This is the reverse side of each piece. Close up of #4 Other views of #6.

Pecten sp Manasquan Formation Eocene Monmouth County, NJ This is relatively common but is often fragmentary. Weller only gives Pecten sp as present in the unit while Whitfield doesn't recognize any Pecten. Pecten kneiskerni is present in the slightly younger Shark River Formation and I am tempted to assign that to these older specimens. -
