Not much has been published focusing on theropods from New Jersey. Nice to see a new paper that looks at the assemblage at the Ellisdale site of New Jersey. The distinctive theropod assemblage of the Ellisdale site of New Jersey and its implications for North American dinosaur ecology and evolution during the Cretaceous Chase D.

Hello, my name is Jake. I am a young major fossil collector and am new to the Fossil Forum. I live in Middletown Delaware and am wondering where I can find the dredge piles at St Georges on the C and D Canal. I have been to the dredge piles at the reedy point bridge before and found a junk load of belemnites. I found it really fun. But me and my mom are major shark tooth enthusiasts and we did not find any. I know that you can find them there but they are not as common at that spot. What I do know is that the dredge piles from the marshalltown formation contain much more shark and vertabre material. So me and my mom want to find those piles. I know that it is in the area around the summit bridge on the north side, but it is a big area and could not find the exact location. I met someone there who had found fossils there before and told me that they are around the soybean field but that area is huge and could not determine the exact location. I was wondering if anyone knows exactly where to find the dredge piles and if you could, please insert a marker of the exact location on a google maps image. Thank You!
