Josh stout Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 My daughter found this at Big Brook NJ. It was loose at the bottom of the stream. I don't think it is a cow, horse or deer, but it could be pleistocene. I just joined the forum, and hope this works. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Rockwood Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Mosasaur ? Link to post Share on other sites
Josh stout Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 It certainly could be. I haven't seen examples from the neck area. I have seen a few worn examples from lower down the body, and they look more like disks with concave ends. Link to post Share on other sites

hemipristis Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Looks like mosasaur, yes. But nit idea on body position Link to post Share on other sites
Dryptosaur Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Agree, it is mosasaur. Link to post Share on other sites
The Jersey Devil Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Great Mosasaur vert! Pretty hard to find one that nice in NJ. I’m not sure you’ll be able to ID the exact position, but it is definitely not a terminal vertebra. Link to post Share on other sites
