Need Help to ID finds from Big Brook New Jersey


Jenelle

Recommended Posts

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?)

16 - looks like a pycnodont tooth.  (Anomoeodus phaseolus?)

17 - is a ghost shrimp claw.

The rest look like typical concretions, chert, and rocks from the streams.
