Fossils in this album are from the now lost C&D canal. This site was a dredge dump site near Delaware city. This site was very large and covered acres. However, the site was flooded in 2023 to prepare for a new batch of dredge that does not contains fossils.
Most of the finds at this site date to the late Cretaceous, specifically the Mount Laurel formation. Common finds include bivalves, gastropods and cephalopods. This site had a wide variety of microfossils including solitary coral, bryozoan, crinoids, urchin spines, urchins, worms and brachiopods. Less common finds were vertebra, bone fragments, shark teeth, fish teeth and mosasaur teeth.
Occasional erratics (likely Devonian) can be found as well. These include brachiopods, corals, crinoids and even trilobites.
Fossilized woods (date and origin unknown) occasionally was found.

It made Tidgy shudder a bit, but that's a very nice piece.

This is a piece of the plastron of a soft-shelled turtle. Nice find.

After doing some research, I'm under the impression that this is Gastrioceras sp. Not sure how to go about updating the post though.
