Go Fossil Hunting In Monmouth County

MARLBORO TOWNSHIP, NJ - Did you know that Marlboro Township is home to one of the most productive fossil sites on the East Coast? Come join Dr. Paul Kovalski, Jr., (an expert in the field) and Lynne Gustman from the Marlboro Township Recreation Department for an amazing time on either Saturday, May 13 or June 10.

Search for sharks’ teeth, belemnite, exogyra (500-year-old clamshells), vertebra and much, much more! See and learn firsthand what lived here when New Jersey was part of the ocean floor. Bring a strainer, small shovel, and a plastic bag for your finds, and the desire to dig. Wear old clothing, boots if desired; and be prepared to get WET! We’re heading down into a creek bed. Thanks to an Eagle Scout project, there are steps that lead to the creek bed to make access easier. Sign up today!
