Fossilian Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Found these today in NJ Brook. 1st one is a tooth of some sort. 2nd one I believe is a bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I am thinking croc for the first pic, and I am not sure of the second item. Could you try to take better close ups of both, and different views of the first? 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I agree, I think first might be croc. Second one is bone but the animal and part of the body won't be able to be determined. When posting take take pics of the ends as well as sides and also with a ruler or scale that's recognised internationally unlike coins for example. 1 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the go so I can't take any right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njfossilhunter Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Yes a piece of Ratfish/Chimaeriod mandible and the other could be a croc or mosasaur tooth...but then it could also be a fish tooth ...can you take a picture of this tooth looking down from the bottom. 1 TonyThe Brooks Are Like A Box Of Chocolates,,,, You Never Know What You'll Find.
