SoreBack Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 This bone came from the same area as the last one and has some marcasite issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non-remanié Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 the bones could be from the basal kirkwood lag, probably miocene small cetacean if so, but its really hard to get much from them, especially with the extra iron coating. ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpevahouse Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Did more research on these finds. Found documentation as to Monmouth County Miocene/Kirkwood formation fauna finds as early as 1893. Though these sediments are mixed and the fossils are stream finds appears to be true Miocene. Miocene terrestial mammal finds are rare in NJ. Very interesting location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
