Hello everyone, this is Trevor. Today, 21 October 2017, fossil forum members bucky, frankh8147, Trevor, non-remanie, and Frank's brother, Shane, all went to an NJ Cretaceous stream to do some collecting. The weather was exceptional; still cool enough to wear a sweater but not extremely cold. The day was overall excellent for fossil hunting. We got everything and headed up a small tributary. The finds throughout the entire day were average or somewhat on the lower spectrum of things. However, towards the upper half of the hunt, Frank snagged a pristine condition plesiosaur vertebrae with his hands by feeling in the water. Anyone in New Jersey could heard his triumphant yell of pure elation. Additionally, at the end of the trip, Frank and Shane may have stumbled upon the outer cranial portion of a mastodon skull (Pleistocene), which was apparently just propped up against a rock in the stream. I didn't get to see it but he will surely post it. Well, I shall post my finds. I went to another brook the other day for a little while, that is where the colonial pipe end is from (I did not find it on this trip).
