jerseygurl Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hello All, First let me say that I am happy to have this forum. It is great to have such a diverse community at our finger tips. I have lots of common beach finds that I am not able to ID and so I am wondering if I should stop picking them up. Thoughts and advice as to what these fragments might be. I’m especially interested in the top left corner items, as I do not know what formed them into that shape. Everything Else I can identify - gastropod molds, Indian point, teeth, coral, and maybe some bone fragments. The last 3 pics are of an item I found a few years ago in the same area. I did not know what it was until I got it home and cleaned it up -glad I did not leave that one Be! It is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 The only one I know for sure is the gray color fossil on the bottom row is a Horn Coral 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMert Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 The big fragment looks like its has a structure of bone, most of them could be bone/trace fossil fragments or just concretions. The problem with them is that they are too weathered. I would continue picking them up until something fresh and fairly preserved shows up. The second thing to do is find information about this location fossil-wise (simple internet search, local museums) My sites & reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygurl Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 Thank You for the help. I spend a good amount of time researching and even check actual books out of my university library to gain the best understanding of the area. I was able to get a better picture of my best find at the location and posted it below. I found it a few years ago and it (along with of the occasional perfect unweathered finds) keep me going back. Especially when I don’t have time to go to the brooks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
