Hi everyone. I found this Upper Cretaceous shark tooth in Ramanessin Brook near Holmdel, New Jersey on Sunday. It is a little over half an inch wide. It appears different than any of my other Cretaceous teeth from New Jersey. My best guess- the common goblin shark: Scapanorhynchis texanus lower lateral. Most of my other goblin shark teeth (and there's many of them) are anterior and upper laterals. I do have some other lower laterals, but the blades are less slanted and taller. Still, they are the closest in resemblance. Or could it be a different species altogether? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks, and Happy Holidays! Sorry about the poor photo quality.

Since Thanksgiving I'd only been out collecting once. Snow and cold, car repair, work, and other personal matters effectively kept me out of the field. Finally, yesterday I was able to get back out again. I wasn't waiting for ideal conditions and it was COLD!!!!! Temperature only reached 38 degrees and there was little sun for warmth. Winter collecting for me is usually the Cretaceous brooks of Central New Jersey, two hours south of where I live in New York City's northern burbs. Most of the time I go with frankh8147, a great companion, but unfortunately not free that day. He was out collecting Pennsylvanian ferns. Normally we go to Big Brook, but since I was going solo I decided to hit Ramanessin instead. I have a favorite spot I hadn't been to in many months I thought worth checking out again. After I arrived I first I hit a different spot that's closer (and much easier to get to) where I found a hadrosaur tooth last year, a small area that's either hot or not and this time it was not. After a half hour of sifting I decided it wasn't worth staying in that spot so I moved upstream to my favorite area. Getting there was a challenge since there were more downed trees and one I had to crawl under, getting my clothes wet and muddy in the process. Finally got there and started sifting. The first sift turned up what I believe is a small crocodile tooth, 5/8ths of an inch long. It is only my second Cretaceous croc tooth I've ever found and knew already it was going to be my find for the day. A bit later I found a Protocallianassa morton (ghost shrimp) claw, one of my best (includes the bottom pincer). Besides those two finds it was nothing to write home about: The four common shark teeth, Archaeolamna kopeingensis, Cretolamna appendiculata, both mackerel sharks, Scapanorhynchus texanus (goblin shark), and Squalicorax sp. (crow shark), a small shark vert. I picked up a few of damaged goblin shark teeth as giveaways. Also found a small Anomoeodus phaseolus (a pycnodontid shell crushing tooth) and a small Enchodus fang. Also found a partial rodent (beaver) incisor. Most likely recent but could be Pleistocene. I left a bit early because of the cold, but over all this was, after a long hiatus, a fairly nice return. Looking forward to more outings this spring with Frank and then up to New York's Paleozoic sites.

Last winter, on an otherwise poor outing at Big Brook, N.J. in the cold, I found a partial ammonite body chamber- Trachyscaphites pulcherrimus with nice details. I showed it to Ralph Johnson, who curates the MAPS collection (Monmouth Amateur Paleontological Society). I agreed to donate this rare specimen to what is the largest collection of Upper Cretaceous marine fossils from the Atlantic Coastal Plain (New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland). The fossil ended up in the MAPS collection's educational display. I finally got to see it today, prepared by Ralph, in the display case and photograph it.
