Hi all, about two months ago I asked about ramenessin or big brook being better. Here are my finds from about six two hour hunts at ramenessin brook, and searching gravel I took home, it’s more fun searching there but bringing some home and searching through it is better than not looking at all. The best finds are a couple of 1-1.5 inch shark teeth, a small croc tooth, a rat fish jaw, a small shark vert, a very water worn sawfish tooth, a burrow with invert fecal pellets, two ammonite fragments, shell casts, a small shark tooth I believe is a nice angel shark tooth, a drum fish tooth, an Enchodus tooth with jaw attached, and some shark teeth with really nice colors! If anyone could confirm the angel shark tooth is really an angel shark tooth @The Jersey Devil @Trevor @hokietech96 @frankh8147 @Darktoothit would be greatly appreciated!

Ralph Johnson of MAPS and Bill Shankle of DVPS and I filled in for Carl Mehling of AMNH in NYC to lead a trip of a AMNH sponsored trip to Ramanessin brook this past Thrusday . At first we became concerned when the bus had not arrived on time and Ralph and I went looking for them just in case they were parked at the other school down the road and when we came back we noticed a yellow school bus parked at the other end of the lot and I mentioned to him they the bus looked empty or that they maybe all little people and when we got closer we noticed that they were all middle school kids all 23 of them.....we were not expecting a bus load of kids ....Ohhh Boyyyy. No wonder Carl couldn't make it......LOL Good thing we had a bunch of extra screens and shovels with us. At first they didn't find much and the kids started to lose interest so I started grabbing the screens and filled them up and set them on the gravel bars and told them to start looking threw them and soon after they started finding teeth and before you know it most of them were finding fossils and I couldn't keep up with the demand for new loads of screens filled with the stream matrix All in all we had a great time...I know I did. I even found a nice Ischyodus Bifurcatus
