Jersey Fossil Hunter Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi I recently went looking for foss il at Big Brook Park, New Jersey. I'm wondering what species the shark tooth is from and what the other tooth/fossil is from. I'm not entirely sure what it is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 The molar looks like a modern racoon tooth. I believe the Shark tooth is a Scapanorhynchus texanus.

Jersey Fossil Hunter Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Thanks for the references! It was the other tooth I was unsure of because it really didn't look like anything on those sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
