      The matrix and fish look a lot like the Lycoptera sp. fish fossils from Liaoning, China but without locality data, one can’t be sure. This is an interesting locality famous for the feathered dinosaurs and commonly referred to as the Jehol Biota.

      I am located in Maryland near the bay frequently find bone fragments some partially fossilized, some complete and some not at all but preserved in a mud flat. I try to go back and collect as much bone in the same area in hopes I might happen on to more information and clues

      Very interesting!!! Uploading additional pics that show the other side of the specimen my help the community identify it. Scale would help as well.

    Thanks for your input @bill-heim. There’s definitely cool stuff there-recently found a possible labyrinthodont tooth in the same location. Need a good resource for bone and tooth ID.

    It’s possibly worn, but no visible septa or tabulae to indicate Rugosa coral. Golden color may be due to presence of iron/pyrite in sediments.

      Looks to be a tooth, nice find

    • Profile picture of Jack Parker-Tyreman

      It’ll probably be from a theropod dinosaur

    • Profile picture of Jack Parker-Tyreman
      Jack Parker-Tyreman replied 4 months, 1 week ago

      Or it’ll be a crocodile tooth

      doubt it’s from a theropod. they didn’t have those ridges. probably crocodilian or marine reptile

    • Profile picture of Leonardo Miranda
      Leonardo Miranda replied 4 months, 1 week ago

      or actually, l think it’s a labyrinthodont

    • Profile picture of Leonardo Miranda

    @smudge-smith if so that’s a pretty good find. What makes you say specifically dinosaur as opposed to fish, etc?

      probably Dino then. If marine beds then probably fish

    • Profile picture of Bill Heim
      Bill Heim replied 4 months, 1 week ago

      Big Brook is a marine deposit. While that doesn’t rule out dinosaur, it also makes it much less likely. More likely is mosasaur or plesiosaur. In fact I have found a plesiosaur tooth there. However, there are no distinctive features on this chunk of bone that indicates what kind of animal it came from.
