  1. I made four visits to Monmouth County over the past month. Thought I'd share my finds from each trip. First trip was on 9/17. I wound up visiting three locations. 1st location cut through the Manasquan Formation (Eocene/Miocene). Always a tough hunt. Group shot of my finds. Partial tooth is Sand Tiger Shark - Carcharias sp. Couple Flabellum And a couple of unidentified fossil bone pieces. 1st 2nd

    Strange fossil i found today at Big Brook, NJ

    Found this strange fragment of cretaceous cephalopod- i found many others today, and in the past as well. However this one had a strange fragment that has been fossilized within. I cannot identify it, nor figure out why it is inside this small bit of cephalopod cast. It is rock hard, and i cannot break or bend the bits off that are sticking out.
  3. Dear Fellow Forum Members, On this day, the 4th of October in the year 2020, @itsronni @Masp @Trevor and @Jeffrey P ventured to a frequented late cretaceous stream in New Jersey. I first met up with Jeff and did some sifting before later locating itsronni and Masp further downstream. Finds came somewhat slowly after we first stopped to sift but after some time we gradually found more fossils. We stayed in one area for the majority of the day up until Jeff had to leave. After some deliberation, the remaining members and I walked a quarter mile upstream and then left shortly afterwards. It was a nice day to meet fellow forum members and also a nice day to collect fossils. Here are my finds, the others will post theirs when they can:
  4. Hello everyone, I hope life has been pacing along well for all of you. At the moment, I find myself at school and away from my idealistic home, that is, buried alongside the Cretaceous fossils swimming in the various soils of NJ. No worry though! I have been going through some micro gravel in Ohio and today will present you with my second batch of finds. I believe I've found some cool things so far. The most notable differences between this post and my previous (besides the fossils of course) is that I post fewer photos and more group shots. Enjoy. Meristodonoides sp. Rhombodus laevis + Other Rays Scapanorhynchus texanus (symphesial) Paralbula casei Hadrodus priscus Lonchidion babulskii Ischyrhiza mira Other Shark's Teeth Ptychotrygon sp. Osteichthyan Vertebrae Unidentified
  5. Hello everyone, in addition to posting my other topic today, I am going to post this one. With the summer coming to a close, I am preparing to go back to college in Ohio and continue my study of Neuroscience and Mathematics. The rain in Ohio and ID'ing NJ fossils in the ID section often make me lament all of potential NJ hunts I am missing out on because I am at school. So, I thought it would be a good idea to collect micro matrix using a window screen and stock several buckets full of gravel to look through during the semester. Over the last two weeks or so I've had the opportunity to do some early looking and will share my finds in this post. Hopefully I will be able to make many more NJ Micro trip reports during the course of the semester. I am still figuring out the proper mixture of lighting and camera angles. Also, you may notice it in this post, but I am adjusted the properties Exposure, Shadows, and Sharpness to get the optimal view of the fossils. The black borders and resizing of the photos were automatically done by a Python script I wrote. Perhaps with more micro reports I can become better at ID'ing what I find (there are still many things that I have found where I am at a loss for what they are) and taking photos. Enjoy.

  6. Dear Fellow Forum goers, I intend this to be just a quick trip report. My friend @The Jersey Devil and I decided to do some collecting on what turned out to be a very pleasant day. Both of us were quite tired for some reason and didn't really hunt as intensely as we could have. We both did okay. I found some decent things, but nothing to write home about. Maybe next time. There were many leaves and trees down due to the recent winds. Overall, the experiences we had today 08/06/2020 were pretty good. I hope you enjoy what I found. - Trevor More appealing finds Medium bone chunk General finds
  7. Dear Fellow Forum members, Lately I have been somewhat frustrated by my dearth of knowledge on the Late Cretaceous deposits and fauna of NJ. I collect the Late Cretaceous of NJ frequently and am seeking a more thorough comprehension of everything related to it. While reading research papers can go far, there is some information that is proving difficult to find or procure. Here I have listed some of the questions that I have come up with, hopefully some can be answered. At the very least, some pointers would be a great start (links to papers, personal experiences, photos specimens in your collection, etc..). Cheers till we meet in the stream again. 1. What is the current state of knowledge on Peyeria sp. in NJ? 2. How many species of sand tiger are currently found in the NJ Late Cretaceous? 3. What is the best referential repository of finds for Necrocarcinus sp.? (probably MAPs, but I forgot to check when I went there) 4. Are there any documented pieces of Necrocarcinus sp. besides claw fragments? 5. Has Enchodus ferox been documented anywhere else in NJ other than Site H_? 6. How diagnostic are most teeth of the Crocodilia order in common stream systems? 7. Is there any dispute over whether X. vetus is the sole supplier of Xiphactinus. sp teeth in NJ? 8. Is there a specimen of C. magnus jaw fragment from NJ or MD? 9. What is the likelihood that some specimens of Ischyodus bifurcatus are in fact some other chimaeriforme? 10. How many documented Globidens sp. teeth from NJ exist in scientific repositories? 11. What are the primary differences between A. phaseolus and A. latidens? 12. What is the commonality (personal experience) of fused Chondrichthyian vertebrae as float? 13. Is there any work illuminating how many potential Pachyrhizodus species there are in NJ? 14. Is there a repository of scientifically accurate (well, as much as is possible) NJ fossil art work? 15. Does anyone have any pictures of Xiphactinus sp. or Enchodus sp. pectoral fins from NJ? 16. Does Squalicorax "kaupi" = Squalicorax lindstromi, or is the latter more specific? (Didn't S. kaupi refer to potentially multiple species? Is S. lindstromi a paleobucket too or one of the species S. kaupi may have referred to?) @Carl @non-remanié @frankh8147 @The Jersey Devil @Jeffrey P @njfossilhunter @hokietech96 @brad hinkelman @Darwin Ahoy

    Cliona cretacica

    This specimen was collected via sifting stream gravel.
  9. Hello Fellow Forum members, Here are several trips that occurred during late 2019 or early 2020. If there are any finds that you'd like better id'd or photographed please let me know. All finds come from the late cretaceous deposits of New Jersey. I experimented with labeling the finds in Inkscape but it was computationally intensive and I didn't continue it. The last photograph is a find that I would appear an identification on.
