NJ Late Cretaceous: 080620

[Trevor]

Dear Fellow Forum goers,

 

I intend this to be just a quick trip report. My friend @The Jersey Devil and I decided to do some collecting on what turned out to be a very pleasant day. Both of us were quite tired for some reason and didn't really hunt as intensely as we could have. We both did okay. I found some decent things, but nothing to write home about. Maybe next time. There were many leaves and trees down due to the recent winds. Overall, the experiences we had today 08/06/2020 were pretty good. I hope you enjoy what I found.

Thanks for the trip report! That little Squalicorax looks nice and sharp.

Indeed, it has that blue-ish sheen to it that comes with great preservation. I very much enjoy find these perfect teeth over the more worn ones but alas, perfect teeth are difficult to come by in NJ.

Hey @Familyroadtrip, the top one is a Baculite piece and the bottom one is a piece of a Mosasaur tooth.

Nice, I want to find a mosasaur tooth so bad!!!!!

That's a killer Enchodus fang. Congrats Trevor.
