Cryptid9 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Anyone know of good fossil sites near central New Jersey? I know of Big Brook, does anyone know what kind of fossils can be found there? I would like to eventually go on a trip to Utah or the Dakotas for a spring break or something, but I might as well start locally. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The brooks are Cretaceous, so belemnites, bone pieces, mosasaur teeth and such are possible finds. using a geologic map to find fossiliferous formations and then using google maps to identify outcrops is a good way of going about finding good sites. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
