This post is a bit late but better than never. I went to Big Brook the first opportunity I could in February once the weather cleared a little. I think it hit 50 degrees that day. Either way, I stayed out of the water as much as possible. It was a quick trip due to the cold water temps but I managed to pull some nice shark teeth, ray plates and some belemnites. The cool find for the day was a perfect Ostera Mesenterica. It was my first ever and on the the second complete one I've seen from this stream.
Last year I hit the stream about 4 or five times and came up with many nice teeth and belemnites, some crab claws, and numerous shell and gastropod impressions. I have also found some bone fragments, ray crusher teeth and barbs, drum teeth, shark coprolite, and one cool saw fish rostrum.
A friend and her brother found a very large Enchodus in great shape at 1 7/8 inches.
This year my goal is a Mososaur Tooth (same goal as last years) and maybe a Croc too.
