Troodon Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 What is the locality of your finds and formation if you know. Size and a sharper image of your last fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Sorry the last thing is a rock that I presumed to be some artifact. All of the fossils are from Big Brook NJ, and I do not know the formations there, maybe Navesink. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The second one looks like a piece of hadrosaur or ceratopsian tooth. Can we see good pix from other angles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yes soon, I am not home right now and do not have access to the camera. I thought the second one was a hadrosaur tooth, and I thought the first one was piece of a crab. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavialboy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 the second photo does appear to be a hadrosaur tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreekDawg Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The third photo appears to be a flake of black chert, most likely the by-product of stone tool manufacture. I can't tell the size of the flake. Sometimes larger flakes were used as informal cutting tools due to their very sharp edges, or were reworked to form burins, gravers, scrapers, etc. I think it is a waste flake at the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think the second tooth is from a deer or other artiodactyle. More angles will clear it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The first one,looks to me a piece of a crab.

squali Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks for the better pics. I think Al Dente amazingly nailed the deer piece. Post #10 sure is crabby. Still can't make out that 3rd piece. It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jersey Devil Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I agree with the artifact and deer tooth IDs. The crab claw is not the usual ghost shrimp one and is rare. I think it is a Necrocarcinus sp. 1 “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankh8147 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 If you can make it to the brooks anytime soon, please bring along that 'deer tooth' and crab claw. I'd really like to look at those in hand. I'm always happy to 'eat crow' and learn more but that's a Hadrosaur tooth. As you would expect, I'm more interested in the crab claw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 try Paleopaguris for the genus on the crab claw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
