Life Finds A Way Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hi All A couple more hard to identify finds here from Big Brook finds in NJ. I'm sure a couple are likely concretions, but the rest seem to be fragments of things and have me scratching my head for an ID. Could you please help identify fellow fossil hunters? Thanks and much love to you all! The below here appears have a very tooth-like point, could it be a tooth root? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the next pics it’s an Enchodus dermopalatine frag. 1 “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...

Andy B Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Cool finds. I'm sure I overlook these things in my pan all the time. I'm motivated to look closer now. Who wouldn't want to show their friends a 70 million year old Saber-tooth Herring fossil!!?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
