AJC2021 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Triassic scute, shell or paper weight? Found roadside with mixed road stones in NJ midway between Flemington and Lambertville Rt 202. This is part of the Newark supergroup sedimentary rock deposited during the Triassic period. I can't put this down because it feels biological not geological. All help greatly appreciated.

Randyw Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I agree. I dont see any fossil material so i’d have to say paper wieght Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Unfortunately, I have to agree - not a scute or bone of any kind. Welcome to the Forum, though.

Jeffrey P Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Another vote for rock. If you want to collect Triassic fossils in New Jersey you'll have to do a bit of research and some hard looking. Best wishes and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
