I found this block of brachiopods in Ocean County. It’s a group of brachiopods called Olneothyris harlani. They dominated the sea floor after the extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period (the one that wiped out the dinosaurs) I will be chiseling out an 80 pound block of these on my YouTube channel so subscribe here so you don’t miss it!! https://youtube.com/channel/UC9CKwSAfe1F03xggobOmibQ

The first dinosaur found in North America was from Haddonfield.

You should! Reach out to @njfossils on Instagram and I can help you out with some of the more popular sites like where I’ve had luck at them etc.

One of the most dense things I’ve found in NJ is these faux country boys, driving pick ups with FJB bumper stickers.

Can’t wait til they’re fossils.

If you Google "fossil hunting New Jersey", you will see Big Brook Preserve, articles, and lists of fossil sites. Seems like New Jersey has an abundance of dinosaur fossils and shark teeth.
