Fossilian Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I found these fossils at Ramanessin Brook in NJ. I need help identifying all of these fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 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.

Scylla Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I am not an archeologist, though someone I'm sure specializes in dating these since they are ubiquitous relics in colonial era settings.

Fossildude19 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Clay pipe sounds like the best possibility for the first item, Good call, Gus!
