Hi everyone, 

 

This is the first fossil plant I’ve ever found at big brook in NJ. I found an orange colored rock in the stream bed and saw some odd patterns hidden within. Later when I got home, I tried to take off a layer of rock, and to my suprise, there was a leaf impression. There were other plant impressions within other parts of the rock. I would love to know how old it might be, or if it is more recent and not a fossil at all. Thanks!

Great find! I have seen mention of pleistocene leaves  having been found in East Brunswick. 

The image provided there looks similar to yours.
