I'm probably closest to Hyposaurus, but next closest is the swaggy "Dryp"tosaurus.

Mastodon Pleistocene. I'm now suddenly, irrationally angry none of the local sports teams are the Mastodons.

Dryptosaurus is a genus of tyrannosauroid that lived approximately 67 million years ago during the late Cretaceous period in what is now New Jersey. Dryptosaurus was a large, bipedal, ground-dwelling carnivore, that grow up to 7.5 m long and weigh up to 1.5 t. Dryptosaurus seems to have had relatively long arms when compared with more derived tyrannosaurs. Its hands, which are also relatively large were believed to have had three fingers.

Diplurus is literally in my backyard (or maybe my backyard is in diplurus to be precise). I’m wondering where specifically it and others were found. Anyone know a good list of fossil finds in NJ?

Yeah when the DOT was building route 15 through Sparta they uncovered partial mastodon skeleton. It’s in the public library now.
