Hmm.. I'm not familiar with the fossils of Big Brook, but I can say that your specimen (whatever it is) is pretty river worn.  Could it be a bone fragment, or is it tooth material?

Hopefully someone with Big Brook experience can pop in and help :)

Is this still wet. Carbonized wood (lignite) is found in the brooks Looks like this could be if it's relatively soft. @Carl What do you think?

It's a pretty worn Enchodus palatine! Nice find!
