  1. This was my first winter fossil hunting in NJ (or anywhere, as a matter of fact). Definitely a different experience from summer and fall. Less people, and much better fossils! Although the people I have run into were pretty devoted, which I can appreciate. Thought I would document my 4 hunts between December and this past weekend. First up, 12/16. On of my favorite Cretaceous brooks. Found an awesome variety of fossils, one of which turned out to be a Theropod tooth! Group Shot Devonian glacier erratic with Crinoids, Bryozoan and Brachiopod or Bivalve impressions. Gastropod Steinkern Ammonite Steinkern Crustacean claw piece A. phasolus Crusher Tooth Enchodus sp. Tooth w/Jaw fragment Squalicorax sp. (Crow Shark) A. kopingensis (Mackerel Shark) Theropod Tooth
  2. Hello, I found this during my last trip to a NJ Cretaceous stream. I sometimes find Devonian coral fragments but have never found something like this. I believe the round parts to be remnants of crinoid stems but I’m unsure about the star shapes. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Fossil or concretion from Ramanessin?

    Is this a fossil or has Ramanessin fooled me again? Thanks again. I really appreciate all of your help!

    Is this turtle fossil from Ramanessin?

    My initial thought was turtle when I found this. Can anyone help me determine what this is? Thank you very much.
  5. Hello! I have been getting a lot more into rockhounding and looking for fossils recently. I've been able to identify a bit on my own, but I have some from last year that I'm really not sure about. This is part of what I've found, I tried to sort them by similarities. The only spots I go to are im central jersey - watchung, big brook, and sea girt but I believe these are all from the brook. Thanks for any assistance! Also, I just learned about rock decay as I was putting this together and that might be 4 and 5, and the last two have been identified (Fossil #16 is a Pycnodont pharyngeal tooth and Fossil #17 is part of a crab claw?)
  6. Hi. Miss everyone. Hope all well. It’s been way too long. Went out twice last month in northern NJ. Felt so good to be out in the creeks in nature and get away from all the life snarge. Two finds I need help with and some nice teeth I found. Hope everyone is well. Miss everyone!

    Help ID bone from Ramanessin Brook, NJ

    Hi! I found this bone this morning in Ramanessin Brook, Monmouth County, NJ and was hoping to get ID. I also have photo to show the teeth I found as well. Thanks a lot for your help.

    A Fish Scale From Granton Quarry

    I found this fish scale in the lighter grey layers of Granton Quarry. It is about 1 cm in length, and seems to be rather characteristic, so I am hopeful of a ID. Lockatong Fm Granton Quarry, North Bergen, New Jersey Upper Triassic Thanks.
  9. Hi all, I just got back from my first Big Brook journey and found many amazing things. I've figured out the majority of my finds but i am left with a few below that i could use some help on. I've attached pictures with measurements. Please let me know your thoughts! Once I've IDd these, i will make a post of my findings in the sites forum. If some of these chunks are too small to identify, i completely understand. Location: Big Brook Preserve, New Jersey. Found in creek from various methods of sifting and surface scanning. Period: Cretaceous, 70-72 million years old 1. I believe this is my first shark vert but would like confirmation. 2. These types of rocks were plaguing my new paleontologist brain all day. Can someone confirm what type of rock this is? This is NOT a fossil correct? My gut and from what I've seen is telling me ironstone concretions (The bane of New Jersey)? Two examples here: 3. Absolutely no clue, don't believe it is a rock though. 4. Bone? Is this enough to ID? 4. I thought these were plastic chunks at first. The brown one is definitely not though. The black cone has two perfectly symmetrical lines going up either side, seems odd. Doesn't sound like plastic when tapped though. Thank you in advance and please forgive my ignorance, very much a rookie at identifying anything other then teeth!
  10. Hello! My name is Doug and I'm from South Central Pennsylvania. I'm just about to turn 29 and am really finding out what is important to me in life. I am an aspiring hobby paleontologist! I spend way too many hours researching and digesting fossil related content then I'd care to admit, but I'm sure that's why were all here! I'm often joined by my girlfriend Lauren who shares the same love for treasure and exploration. We just got back from our first ever day trip to Big Brook Preserve in New Jersey for some Cretaceous hunting goodness. See the attachments for the good stuff! The trip maker for me was a shark tooth still preserved in the matrix and an unidentified bone (going to make an ID post! Or if anyone knows please let me know in here or private message (: ). Found my first shark vert as well! My professional career is a Senior GIS Analyst (Geographic Information Systems). Basically, I make computer maps and analyze data. Recently i realized that i could combine my love for both and create some very cool resources to track my history and findings. I use this knowledge and software to log all of my findings, hunting sites, and research. Besides Fossil hunting and GIS, i am also a professional cosplayer. I have a wide variety of interests it seems! I am ecstatic to be a part of such a cool and knowledgeable community. I can't wait to hear from ya'll and learn as much as i can! - Doug filtered-60BE94DC-70F9-4A90-8A40-27EF3E96E049.MP4

    ID Vertebra found in beach

    Hello first post looking to ID this vertebra…we usually find cow bones but this one looks different, checked other marine mammals to see if it matched no luck… did a google reverse image search no luck. appreciate any help!
  12. Was looking for Indian artifacts in a small native undisturbed rural stream and picked up something that appears to me as a fossil. I have no experience with that kind of stuff so any help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks

    Fossil found near Cape May NJ

    Found on the bay while vacationing near Cape May NJ. Possibly identification was a stromatopotoid sponge fossil. I was also curious what the spherical structure imbedded could be. Thank you!

    A Visit to Granton Quarry

    While on a trip in NYC, I thought it would be fun to visit Old Granton Quarry as it was close to where I was staying. In the first day, I found some nice material so I returned for another ~2 hrs on the last day of the trip. Day one was in the afternoon, cloudy but without rain. Nice conditions, and I stayed exactly 2 hours. I was fortunate to visit near Christmas, and there was little vegetation to cover the cliff-face and obscure it from view. Also there was, thankfully, no poison ivy growing. On day two, I started out early, before dawn at ~06:45. It rained slightly, and throughout the dig the cliff reminded me it was there by little bits of rock falling past my head. I found a cute little Plethodon cinereus in the cliff, before dawn, that was a bit shy. Here are the finds! Dorsal fin and some scales Partial Diplurus newarki body - caudal and anal fins - and a few ribs. Skull, and dorsal fin imprint of Diplurus newarki. Concretion/nodule - possibly coprolitic in nature Diplurus newarki - disarticulated ribs, caudal, and possible skull. Diplurus fins and scales Diplurus caudal fin imprints. Disarticulated bones/fins/scales. Diplurus caudal fin Estheria ovata Diplurus ribs Estheria ovata imprints and disarticulated bones/scales. Partial skull and ribs of Diplurus. (Possible ray finned fish scales.) Diplurus 1st dorsal fin Possible skull, or coprolitic material. Concretion nodule imprint: Probably coprolite/concretion/nodule. Could be some bone in there, as well. Diplurus caudals, scales. Possible Diplurus scales Possible Diplurus skull, and scales/disarticulated bones.

  22. Found this little guy out in Big Brook NJ. Appears to have enamel and the weathered remnants of a bit of serration, but I could be wrong. My guess is it’s a fish tooth due to the size but not sure if it’s the right size/shape to be something like Pachyrhizodus. NJ fossil ID pages didn’t help to conclusively ID the tooth. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks all, Try

    Had a Toofer Weekend

    I wasn’t expecting much from this weekend adventure, been having a dry spell with the last few hunts and a lot of misses. Gave it the good OL’College try again and oh did it pay off big time with finding not one but 2 teeth in extraordinary condition on back to back days and 2 different epochs vastly separated from each other geographically which is really cool. Time traveling but without the DeLorean! (Front and back photos of the larger tooth) 2 & 5/8 inches from tooth tip to the larger side of the root; which would be about 66 mm.
  24. I found another mystery tooth lurking in my collection that I can't seem to pin down an ID on. This was found in the cratecous streams of monmouth county NJ. I can't seem to pin down an ID given the odd taper of the tooth itself and relatively small root. I don't believe any of the original root is broken/missing given there are no signs of breakage. Stumped on this one!
  25. Wanted to showcase a small collection amassed over the past 3 years travelling around the eastern US Pictured: Carboniferous & Devonian from PA, Cretaceous from NJ/DE, Miocene from MD/FL, Triassic from AZ & Pleistocene from NJ/MD/FL Some of my favorite pieces 1 - Trigonocarpus sp seed from St. Clair, PA. Excellent preservation in 3 dimensions 2 - Muskrat skull from Calvert County, MD 3 - Lobster (Hoploparia sp) from Ramanessin Brook, NJ. Poorly preserved but rare to find intact 4 - Pleisosaur tooth from Ramanessin Brook, NJ
