Darwin Ahoy Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Figured I'd jump into the pile of the Cretaceous NJ posts lately. Here are my nicest finds from this past month, including 2 plesiosaur teeth, a croc tooth, petrified wood, a monster Archaeolamna...not to mention some nice micros including Lonchidion, Paralbula, and Rhinobatos.

erose Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 That is a great selection of good teeth. In all of the ten years I lived back east croc teeth eluded me. I never even found a scute. Those sawfish rostrals are pretty darn nice as well. During those hot Texas summer afternoons I would be thinking a place like Big Brook or the Ram would have been perfect. I've never been up to Post Oak Creek in North Texas but I guess it would be the equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scylla Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Those are amazing teeth. Especially the plesiosaur, and the croc, and the drumfish, and the sawfish, and... Well they are all amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin Ahoy Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Haha, had a little inspiration. The shadows were too haphazard for me to lay them out in file like I usually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darwin Ahoy Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Both of those plesiosaurs were total luck. The larger one especially, as it came after hours of finding almost nothing. Most days I would have packed up and headed to another spot. I'll trade you my next one haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffie Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm love with those teeth, they are fabulous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Ahoy Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks. It's a good bit over an inch on the slant. I still need to get a good measurement on it. It's likely my largest to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagurus Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks for sharing your hard-won finds. I wish I could spend more time in those brooks, but I'm happy with whatever I manage to dig out ouf there. Teeth like yours would be awsome! I'm planning on a few hours at one of the brooks in a few weeks, hoping for some decent weather. It might be a little chilly but so far I've been lucky down there in October. Hunting there has always been such a pleasure for me. Enjoy your hunts. Mike Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squali Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks for the post DA. It's great to see the varied species of the Cretaceous nice pics. It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CH4ShotCaller Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Plesiosaur teeth! I've never found even a fragment or seen one! One of my many favorites! Great finds.

Darwin Ahoy Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 The plesiosaurs are certainly not common here. A miracle I ever found one, much less two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
