Big Brook finds, maybe Dino material?

[JJT3]

Hi Everyone,

 

New to the forum here but thought you guys might be able to help me ID some finds from today. Was out today for a few hours with my daughter and we found 2 items that I think might be Dino material but maybe not. 

 

I was thinking maybe a hadrosaurus tooth and a long shot on a worn dryptosaurus claw. The claw is interesting because it is definitely not coprolite as it’s rock and not sandy.

With these views dont see a dinosaur claw or tooth.

2nd one looks like a piece of worn flint to me

Thanks for the quick replies. Below are a few more shots.

 

The “claw” seems to have the overall shape down to where it would connect into a toe bone. There is even a small round indent right in that area that seems to be on some other googled pictures.

 

The “tooth” I don’t believe is flint and is not like any other rocks I have ever seen in Big Brook. What made me think hadrosaur was the oblong shape and the rounded ridges.

Unequivocally not a claw although it has the shape of one.

Definitely not a hadrosaur tooth wrong shape and no enamel.  Not sure its a fossil

Thanks, I had my hopes up slightly on these.

Was one of those times you spot something high up with a shape and pick it up expecting it to obviously be nothing but I wasn’t sure on this one.

Hello @JJT3, it appears to me that you have (1) a concretion and (2) a chunk of iron.

Agreed

I still pick up concretions like this all the time (and from time to time, it doesn't end up being a concretion!). Big Brook is loaded with these but it's also loaded with fossils so keep getting out there and welcome to the forum!!
