Al Dente Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Your piece of snail is a broken Anomoeodus tooth. Here's a good site for identifications http://fossilsofnj.com/index_files/Page350.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusFossils Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Number 5. is most likely some kind of Cyrtodontid bivalve. Could be Whitella. Nice finds!

erose Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The second thing in matrix is possibly crustacean. Need a sharper image and even a close up of the surface. Enchodus is a good possibility for the tooth but could also be Xiphactinus. Tooth cross section/shape will help with that ID. The bivalve is going to be Cretaceous so although it may be related to earlier Crytodontids it will be younger genera. And despite just being a bivalve it is a great specimen and a good find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried on this photo, hopefully it is a bit clearer, on more observation, say you knock off that growth on top it resembles a crab claw. I think that's what it is. Thanks for the other information. Will do some research. I forgot a specimen! 6. Another unknown bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coco Yes, there is another bone on one of the other threads with definite predation marks. Perhaps, a rodent was gnawing on it after it seems.

The Jersey Devil Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 The Enchodus tooth is a great find. It is an Enchodus gladiolus tooth attached to a piece of the jaw. “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...

Justin B Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 4 I believe is a drum fish tooth fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 There are no true drumfish (Perciformes) in the Big Brook fauna. Number 4 is probably a partial tooth of Anomoeodus phaseolus (Pycnodontiformes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
