Headed out to take a day trip to Big Brook, only to realize it was closed temporarily due to damage from the recent storms! Luckily, we did a quick reroute to Ramanessin Brook. While I had heard of Ramanessin, I had yet to hunt there, but after today it's become our number one stop in NJ! I've included our best/most intriguing finds from the day here. The ruler markings were drawn in using a ruler (that was printed on the side of a very large leveler that would've been impossible to include in the photos itself).

 

Enjoy!

I'm assuming a concretion with a shell imprint

Front and back photos of either a mineral (mica?) or some fossilized collection of fauna or flora.

Nice haul for a first time visit. That ray tooth looks to be a Myliobatoid.
