hokietech96 13 Report post Posted October 21 Hi. I went to Big Brook again on Friday for my weekly quick trip. We had a really bad rain storm mid week so the the water was the highest I have ever seen it and the creek floor was like quicksand because of the 8-10 inches of fresh sand and other snarge. Every time I took a step my foot would sink down. The first 2 hours was nothing special. More of a struggle getting around. But the last hour I found a very productive spot. I posted one of the finds in fossil I’d. A big thanks you to @The Jersey Devil for all is patients and help with ID. Enjoy the pics. Hope I ID everything correctly. Plesiosaur tooth. Super excited about this one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the teeth you have labeled as Scapanorhynchus are worn teeth of other species. The tooth in the top left corner of that pic might be a Hybodus tooth, can’t see it too clearly.

Thanks for the clarification ID. It’s tough to ID some of these. I will take an individual picture of the upper left in the morning. Thanks again for your help.

Here is a better picture of that one tooth that could be hybrodus. Thanks for taking a look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hokietech96 13 Report post Posted October 22 Thanks for taking a look. Some of the other teeth that are worn that are not goblin, are the identifiable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly it’s not even worth labeling the worn ones as there are a lot of teeth around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
