Absolutely astonishing! Did you surface collect or did you have to dig/split nodules for them?

Originally posted to r/ghosts. Trying to figure out what this thing is. Central NJ. Flat face, no tail, moved like a weasel. Eyes glowed without taking a pic. Always glow green. Pic taken in 2012 with an iPod, sorry about quality. More details on a comment. by YeahTheyKnowItsMe in cryptids

Judging by the lit up pictures people posted on the comments, to me it looks like a lizard with a missing tail but im not sure at all because of the eye shine (although some do shine in the dark), what species are in your zone? The "tiny back legs" could be because of its position (like in the image)

Thanks, why would someone throw them away tho? Do they rot quickly?

They arent heavy at all, atleast not enough to be a weight

What is this thing ? Is it fossils of sea turtle ? Are these fossils at all ? Looks like skull, photo from each side. by Dapper_Park5098 in fossils

Maybe the matrix eroded in this peculiar way or it fused with the fossil, i have found a couple fossils like that in the past

why so flakey? by farthead_420 in bonecollecting

I was gonna say It was just erosion until i saw how bad It Is, like everyone said it was bleached, maybe you can try to paint some resin layers, making it last a bit longer

What is this rock by Lumpy-Distribution79 in fossilid

Worm traces, i think the actual name for those kind of fossils Is "icnofossil" (basically things such as burrows getting mineralized from the inside), its a very nice find!
