EMP Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm not an expert or anything, but the first one could be a lithified wood piece and the second one is definitely a shark tooth, not sure the species though. Looks Cenozoic (65mya-10,000 ya) to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 First looks like a rodent gnawed antler. Second is a sawfish rostral "tooth" or spine. Not sure on the shark tooth species.

ynot Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The first piece looks like a bone that has been gnawed on by a rodent (or cretaceous equivalent.). Second is a rostral spine from a sawfish. Can not help with the tooth. Tony Fossildude19 beat Me again, argh. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

History Hunter02 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Don't quote me on this, but I believe the shark tooth is from the longtooth tiger shark, Galeocerdo contortus , because of the "bump" in the middle of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Brightened and cropped the pics a bit. This website is helpful for identifying shark teeth from New Jersey.

LordTrilobite Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I think that first thing looks gnawed. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The shark tooth is Protolamna borodini. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace river rat Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Rodent gnawed was the very first thing that jumped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFOOLEY Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Nice find...here is another interesting bone from NJ in the thread Probably A Soup Bone (?) But Really Heavy...preservation is very similar to yours. 1 "I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in.

I agree with Protolamna borodini, this species is small and usually slips thru the 1/4 inch screening most people use. I enjoy collecting the smaller material and many times employ a second sift of window screening. You'll find a fair amount of Protolamna borodini teeth with the finer meshed screening. john 1 It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling. - Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
