Fossils from Big Brook

Recommended Posts

This is my first time here and I was hoping for some help identifying these fossils. My daughter and I found these in Big Brook, NJ in February 2019.

Welcome to the Forum! Your photos are very dark (shooting in sunlight is best) but I think I am only seeing frustrating Big Brook concretions here - not fossils. Sorry.

I lightened your photos:

I have to agree with Carl. These look like concretions.

 

Unfortunately,  You are not alone: those concretions have fooled many people over the years! 

Keep looking, though.  :)

#2 is a small fish head....NO not really...   But wonderfully suggestive if you squint your eyes a bit...

Thank you for helping me.  Although I'm disappointed I will not give up, it is to much fun.  This will give me some help. Thank you Fossildude19 for lightening up the pictures. I will do outside pictures next time and add a ruler.
