Kurufossils Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hello everyone, I was in Big Brook nj for a little while today and found this interesting bone. I'm not to sure if it's identifiable but it does remind me of a jaw section like a mosasaur or croc. Any help will appreciated, if I missed an angle or need additional pictures do let me know.

LordTrilobite Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 It does kinda look like a jaw fragment. But it's very worn. Hard to tell what it's from. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I’m not sure you’ll be able to tell what it came from as it’s abraded. Not necessarily a jaw. “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second one, as well, could be one, but I'm less confident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Harvey Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 A wild guess: the posterior end of a mosasaur articular bone. I'm basing this on the concave surface which could be a glenoid fossa mating the bottom of a quadrate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
