Echinoids galore and a lot more - a summer in the New Jersey Vincentown Formation

Hello again!

At this point, this may be more pictorial than educational as I am planning to write something up regarding my finding here, but I forfeited a Summer of Cretaceous digging for the late Paleocene Vincentown Formation of New Jersey.

Even though this Vincentown Formation is one of the oldest formations known in my state, I always found it to be under-studied so I'm hoping this is a good step in changing that. The field work is done (this was all done at a few small but incredibly productive spots), but now the research begins.

Also, there was one fellow forum member who made the trek out there with me; a big thanks to @Jeffrey P

Wow and wow! What an incredible collection! Biggest congratulations, Frank. Even though I was there when you collected some of it, the breath of your collection is truly mind boggling! I also know what hard work was involved in collecting it.

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Thanks Jeff! Weirdly, the prep work was almost identical to the prep involved from specimens from the Oleneothyris zone that we ventured to years back so I think that experience helped this one!

Thank you! I'm still out there constantly, just at different sites.

I am planning on some more Monmouth County digs to close out the year so if you happen to be over this way, let me know!
