Big Brook

[hokietech96]

Hi. Took my bi-weekly trip to Big Brook this week. Had the whole place to myself again. It was not to cold. Enjoy the the pics. Any feedback is always greatly appreciated

Scapanorhynchus Texanus

 

Squalicorax Kaupi

 

top row- Archaeolamna  kopingensis

middle- Carcharias Samhammeri

Bottom row- sawfish Ischyrhiza Mira

 

Cretolamna Appendiculata


I’m assuming modern bone because I’m not that lucky  

 

this pic is the bottom of the above picture bottom right. Not sure if it is anything

 

Found a black m&m. Oh the humor.

I don’t think everything below are concretions but just want to make sure before I toss it.

Great site pics! I've always wanted to make it up there for a day on the Brook.

Nice finds!

Nice finds. You seem to be getting better at IDs. There are still a couple different species mixed in in some of the pics.

Thanks.  I know I get mixed up with the teeth with cusplets.  Because of placement in the mouth it could be either type of mackerel or goblin.  I will get there evenually

The good habit to take is to name the entire name (genus + species) at the first quotation so that everyone understands, especially the uninitiated to sharks.

 

I guess the S. of S. texanus means Scapanorhynchus, the S. of S. Kauai is Squalicorax kaupi. But for the C of C. Samhammeri I give my tongue to the cat ! (French idiome I suppose). Does C. appendiculata mean Carcharias ?

The rule is to quote the entire name the first time in a post, and then only after that we can reduce the gender name to its initial

Thanks for the advice.  Ironically this is the first time i did not write it all out.  Not sure why I did not this time.

I haven't been out hunting in quite awhile, and Big Brook is such an enjoyable place. Thanks for the photos. I'll have to get back there this spring. I'd go today if I were closer! I miss it. I'm happy you were able to get there. You've got some nice looking teeth in that lot. I hope you can get back there soon.

Nice looking finds! Not too many of us north-eastern folks venture out this time of year. I've gotta get over to Big Brook one of these days.

First pic: you got some sand tigers and possibly an Archaeolamna mixed in

 

Third pic: middle- Scapanorhynchus juvenile, bottom center- Enchodus 

 

Fourth pic: bottom left- Scapanorhynchus,

bottom right- Carcharias

 

Fifth pic: modern, probably deer

 

Sixth pic: belemnite phragmacone, unidentifiable gastropods, probably concretion/need better pics

 

Eighth pic: top-concretion, bottom- probably concretion but could be Anomoeodus tooth, need to see other side

 

9-11 pics all look like concretions

Thanks as always for the great feedback!  Deep down I knew pics 9-11 was not anything. Wishful thinking. Here is better pic of my little m&m

Yeah that’s another concretion 

[Gizmo]

Very nice, congrats!

Nice finds. I’m never going to find a squalicorax in my hunting areas. :-(

[hokietech96]

Thanks for all the nice comments and feedback.

Love the on site pics and nice finds

Really cool site, definitely on my to-do list if i ever visit NJ. 

I read there was a rule though that you are only allowed to take 5 fossils per person per trip? Is that not true?

There is that rule but no one follows it.

Hahaha ok then. It does seem like a rather silly rule.
