DMS was scheduled to visit Ramanessin Brook in Holmdel, NJ on Sunday, April 23, 2006 to sieve the stream gravels of Ramanessin Brook for Cretaceous vertebrate (shark and reptile) fossils.  Unfortunately, the weather has not cooperated on either occassion this spring when I have scheduled this trip.  Because of the record setting rainfall on April 22nd, the latest trip was cancelled.  This site is readily accessible, so if anyone is interested in making this trip on their own, please contact me for directions.
