The Ellisdale Fossil Site is located near Ellisdale in the valley of the Crosswicks Creek, in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The site has produced the largest and most diverse fauna of Late Cretaceous terrestrial animals from eastern North America, including the type specimens of the teiid lizard Prototeius stageri[1] and the batrachosauroidid salamander Parrisia neocesariensis.[2] The site occurs within the basal portion of the Marshalltown Formation, and dates from the Campanian Stage of the Late Cretaceous.[3] The site is classified as a Konzentrat-Lagerstätten resulting from a prehistoric coastal storm.[4]
