Finally, I Found My First "insect".....but It's Not What I Expected......
fossilized6s posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
It was only a matter of time, i guess. I finally found my first Mazon Creek "insect"! I found this nodule at pit 11 south unit in the essex fauna. Finding this there is a bit strange, i would have more expected it from the Braidwood fauna. I wish there was more of it. But beggars can't be choosers, right? Haha Euphoberia sp. (Spiny Millipede) It's not the best looking chap in the bunch, but it's a welcomed addition to my collection.

I thought this to be a very defined trail with signs of locomotion. But it looks more like "body segments". Then I thought Shrimp, but it looks too "wormy" to be a shrimp. It also is preserved in an arch, which says all of thee above......ugh. This is from pit 11. All opinions are welcomed. And as always, it's much appreciated, TFF. It's hard to see, but there is a US dime placed in the first picture.

Here's a nodule that I think may contain a Holothurian. I do not have a powerful enough 'skope to look for the sclerites. What do y'all think? Fossil or mineralization/stain? Thanks! Tim
