Hi.  I thought it would be a good day yesterday to go to Big Brook yesterday.  It rained for almost two straight days and the temperature jumped up to 55-60 degrees.  I thoughts with all the rain and warmer temperature I would be able to get some good finds yesterday.  Yesterday the temperature dropped into the 30's and it snowed.  The water was the highest I have ever seen it because of the rain.  I could not even get to my favorite spot because it was under water.  I found a couple decent spots to look around. Here are my finding.  A couple things I have no idea what they are and something I think I know what they are.  If anyone can help with the ID's that would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what any of the above is. The first item on the middle pick I was thinking ghost shrimp piece. The last picture I was thinking plesiosaur

Mackerel shark. Never can figure out which type

The next picture is sand tiger on top two. The other two I’m not sure

The last pic is sawfish

 

Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Dang, you NJ guys are killing it. You found two very nice sawfish "teeth" in one day...points and all. Very nice stuff. The top pic looks like a piece of ray plate in a concretion.

Looking at the OP,  the first pic looks like a stingray dental plate. The diamond shaped object on the left in the third picture is a gar fish scale. The cone in the center of that picture is probably the internal mold of a belemnite phragmocone.

I refuse to give up my childish wonder at the world.

I think you are talking about the diamond shaped object in pic #2 which is either ghost shrimp/ crab claw.

It’s ashame that the Enchodus isn’t complete. Still happy with it because it was new find for me. Here are the pics of that second item.

Looks like either a partial Mosasaur tooth or Plesiosaur tooth. Can’t tell if there are strong striations on it or just the enamel shining on the growth cracks.

I was thinking partial Plesiosaur tooth from the beginning.  It looks very similar to the other Plesiosaur tooth I found last month.  I can take a darker picture if that would help.

It's most likely mosasaur
