Hope your holidays went well!
I recently moved to nj, and I heard about about shark river and big brook in Monmouth county nj. So I decided to check it out. This was my First trip to big brook NJ. It was awesome! Lots of teeth...still trying to identify them, which is tough. Any suggestions on a good resource to help me identify them would be greatly appreciated. Also, I found this chunk of rock(last pic). No idea what it is. It's blue. Any suggestions?

I have Been using all the internet resources, especially those associated with big brook and shark river....however, I have many many items I still cannot ID. I prefer books over internet ...but the internet will have to find me the books I need. I am also looking at micro fossils, which is pretty cool.

In the first image, the broad-bladed teeth appear to be Squalicorax sp. I recommend The Collector's Guide to Fossil Sharks and Rays From the Cretaceous of Texas, Welton and Farish. This was done by professionals, and may be the best ID guide ever.
