Towaco Formation ID Help Needed


FOH

Recommended Posts

I've recently been snooping around Early Jurassic Towaco formation exposures in Northern New Jersey. Although I didn't find much, I found this which looks like it could be something but I can't tell what it is. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Looks to me like a piece of conifer stem, possibly Brachyphyllum scotti.

Congratulations on a rare and cool find. 

 

Here it is, compared to one of mine:

Thanks for the help everyone. Glad to know it isn't some random mineral deposit.
