Found this today in a brook in Monmouth county. I'm stumped as to what it could be, I was thinking crab but I couldn't find anything to support that.

Ok, I have a box full of fossil like structures that I found and kept just in case, and after closely looking at one of them while showing my cousin, I noticed there were shiny tooth like structures on it. Ive attached a photo and im positive this is a fragment of a potential small mammal jawbone. I found it in big brook NJ and I posted photos from all 4 sides. The fragment is really small, its a centimeter long in total. The black bead like structures seem to be small teeth.

Hi folks, found a couple teeth i'm having trouble identifying 1 - Croc or mosasaur? 2 - Sawfish rostrum? 3 - ? These ones confuse me, they seem like badly worn Goblin teeth but the root doesn't align with the usual ways we see goblin shark teeth fragment - are these something else?

Hello everybody, does anybody know what these fossils are? Found in ramanessin Brook NJ. I think they are teeth from fish. Possibly some are sawfish? One is a jaw fragment? Thank you to all that can help

Recently I took a trip up to central New Jersey in the US with my sister for our 2nd trip fossil hunting; at a place called “big brook preserve”. As I was sifting through looking at some fossils that I could identify such as shark teeth and fossilized poop with my very basic studying from the Internet and stuff I’ve seen on tv. She calls me over at something she had found while sifting through the dirt in the brook. Thinking that I’d be able to identify it for her I was stumped. it looks like it has characteristics of a fossil from what I think but with my limited knowledge and understanding I keep going back to the idea of “nah it can’t be” And thinking it’s just a cool rock. Either way the water seemed to do a number on this this find eroding it over the years. Also the finds in this brook are usually Cretaceous period specimens and the occasional dinosaur fossil is rare, and reptile fossils are a tiny bit rare too here I think. I have a couple pictures that I took that night when we returned home. I’ll take better lit pictures if these aren’t adequate enough, but the main question I have that’s been bothering me is; is it a rock or a fossil from something once living? Side note the front is slightly smoothed/curved and the back is mostly flat. Please and thank you to anyone willing to help. I’ve also taken the time since then to email 2 local universities for assistance too if that’s even possible.

From the album: Huge Big Brook Fossil Collection

Some interesting finds from my weeks NJ brook trip. Some new and good finds to take macros of and share. I hope that you will find my little man IDK thingy at least entertaining. I might place him in the collection as a personal good luck charm to acknowledge before heading out on a future trip. I don’t know what he is or how he came to be- but he is sure interesting. Cheers!!!!

This little guy caught my eye and so I picked him up, brought him home, and cleaned him up. Hoping that he is part of a ghost shrimp claw. Few other finds last week but nothing too spectacular or what I already don’t have in my mini collection.

Dear all, I would like to submit three artifacts from the Big Brook site that some of you know so well. 1) The first is most likely a concretion. however, on one side, there is a regular cut with a circular end section. I have no particular idea. 2) The second artifact could be a theropod tooth, with a elliptical cross-section. In this hypothesis we distinguish quite clearly the crown base at the cervix, with the dentine layer. On another image, we can see worn denticles in (presumed) mesial view, but the outermost enamel layer is very corroded and the dental layer is missing in some places. 3) Tooth fragment (?). If so, note the pulp cavity (?) Thank you all for your invaluable comments. I am of course at your disposal for other photographs. Best, Sancerre

Went fossiling in Ramanessin Brook (Howell, NJ) on 7/9/19. Various finds. Some have already been identified (such as crow shark, mosasaur tooth fragment, sawfish, turtle plastern, ammonite, etc.), but was wondering if anyone saw some additional finds that could be identified. Thank you!

Earlier in the week I made a trip to Ramanessin Brook in Holmdel, NJ. I came back with a bunch of teeth and fragments, including these tiny things that I have clue what to think of. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need a different photo. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7

From my first trip to the brooks a few years back. I just called it plant at the time. Am I even close on either ?

Went to Big Brook NJ for the first time this summer with the kids. Liked it so much we went back several times. For first timers we were very happy with the hauls. May look rather plain to the seasoned people here but wanted to share. Thanks, Jason

Found many teeth at Big brook nj. Lots of fun. I'm new to this. Any help would be appreciated. I think all the done shaped objects are just rocks but I thought I'd pass it by the forum. The object that looks like a seed is fossilized it is not modern can't scratch it, doesn't burn. Thanks in in advance. Jason. If you'd like more pics just let me know

I found these and I think they are fossil vertabraes of fish but I am not sure. I found them at a brook in Holmdel NJ and they are pretty small. I think two of them are vertabrae but I am not sure about the other two.
