New Jersey Brachiopod Identification

Brachiopod is a realistic New Jersey fossil profile built around two-shelled filter feeder that dominates many Paleozoic limestone beds. In this state, success usually comes from learning Devonian shales, glacial gravels, and coastal shell beds, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
