Fossil hunting is not kind to them! Keeping them short is the best way to keep them from breaking

Yes there are other sites. Ramanessin is another popular one. The big brook preserve has a fossil limit of five but other sections of the stream don’t have the same limit. Feel free to reach out to me on Instagram @njfossils

This ammonite was found in the Merchantville Formation of New Jersey. The Merchantville is the oldest Cretaceous marine formation in NJ around 84 million years old. It is home to one of the most extensive invertebrate faunas in the state. Check out my YouTube channel where I’ll show everything else I found on this hunt, plus how I prepare the fossils from this site like this ammonite!! https://youtube.com/channel/UC9CKwSAfe1F03xggobOmibQ

It’s pretty much the case. There are posted rules at the parking lots for big brook too they can probably be found on line as well

Thank you! I’m really excited to start preparing the other blocks!

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

There are some really cool methods of mineral replacement for fossils, most invertebrates are just steinkerns in NJ, but every now and then you can find something really cool
