Can't figure any of these out!


Fossilian

Recommended Posts

I found these fossils at Ramanessin Brook in NJ. I need help identifying all of these fossils.

Most of these are ironstone concretions - not fossils.

 

Photo 1 item 1 may be a belemnite piece.

Photo 1 item 2 looks like a shrimp or lobster claw.

I found 2 different photo 1 and item 1.

 

I threw one out thinking it was man-made until I found the 2nd one at a different spot in the stream.

Item one is a colonial pipe stem fragment. Cool find.

Wow! That's awesome.

 

Can you please tell me where it originated from?

I am not an archeologist, though someone I'm sure specializes in dating these since they are ubiquitous relics in colonial era settings. Browse some of the links in a google search for "colonial clay pipes"

Clay pipe sounds like the best possibility for the first item, :) 

Good call, Gus!
