southjerseyfossil Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm new at hunting big brook and found a few thing I would appreciate any help in identifying oddly I only found tiny shark teeth thanks the 3rd pic I think is coal but it changes blue green in light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Welcome to TFF! 1 looks like a fish fin spine. 2 need better pictures from more angles. 3 is a shark vert, Tony PS Should post this type of query in the fossil ID sub-forum.

AshHendrick Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 That second item looks really interesting I'm anxious to see what it is!! The texture looks like these flakes of mastodon teeth I've found here in gmr but I'm sure that's a far stretch don't consider that an Id attempt just a comment haha. I'll be heading to nj first time to hunt on my birthday weekend vacation first weekend of march! I'm excited!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njfossilhunter Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I would bet that the third one is a Sawfish called Ischyrhiza Mira. Here is a picture of one of mine.

Peat Burns Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The first item might be a mammalian ulna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just an image that comes to mind. It's a modern loon tibia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The second item has conchoidal fractures and looks a glassy mass. I think it could be Anthracite coal.

Fossildude19 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I agree with the given IDs of ulna for the first item, possibly racoon, and sawfish vert on the third item. Second item is either coal, or slag.
