I'll add to the pile.

I would like to submit my Gastropod and fossil wood combo. Cretaceous, Burlington County NJ. Took this to a museum, we are unsure of the relation between the gastropod and the fossil wood.

Found mid - March

Found yesterday, 3-28-2016. Peace river Bone valley(Hawthorne formation), business end of mammoth tusk(or mastodon) unsure at the moment. This picture was moments after it was found. I've already preserved it, and the final picture will follow. About 15 inches in length...

mastodon, me thinks -- read the last post on this thread,,http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/59211-mastodon-bones-tusk/, Great find. They usually break into little pieces unless you find them in a mud/sand mixture.

Yeah, I'm actually 90% certain it's mastodon! Which is actually a little cooler, in my opinion. The river was too high, and this was washed out with some rain, probably moments before. Right place and the right time. Beautiful color too! Super stoked!
