Nanor Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) These fossils were all found at Big Brook in New Jersey. From what I know, they should likely be from the Cretaceous period. I was unable to find much reference on what the following fossils may be. Anyways, thanks in advance! By the way, I didn’t want to upload too many photos at once, so please feel free to ask for additional photos of any of the specimens.

val horn Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 you found alot of nice fossils. The first looks to be a piece of unknown bone, the second I want to see more photos, the 4th looks like enchodus fang, and the last croc tooth. The 3, 4 and 5 are less clear to me. The 5th is too irregular for croc scute and may well be turtle but I want to see all of the sides. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Nanor Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Here are photos of the second fossil and the fifth one. I was completely unsure of the second one, but I did think the 5th was an aquatic turtle. Also, do you think the last one could be a small mosasaur tooth (that’s what I thought it might be) or do you just think it’s a croc tooth? Link to post Share on other sites

If the second set of photos shows more views of the dimpled piece it doesn't look like turtle bone to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
