njcreekhunter Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Hey everyone. Last summer I found an interesting piece of late Cretaceous fossil bone with a unique texture in New Jersey. It was later identified as a Nodosaur osteoderm by Ralph Johnson. Dinosaur material in general is rare in New Jersey and this specimen to my knowledge is the second Nodosaur osteoderm found in the state of New Jersey. Recently, I had the pleasure of donating this specimen to the New Jersey State Museum. I am honored to be able to contribute this specimen to science for future generations to study. Here are photos of the specimen. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
