The community I live in was once a farmstead in Rowan County, North Carolina. I believe a section of my yard was once a creek bed. The other day I found one of my dogs playing with this item and after spending hours trying to find anything that looked remotely like this, I’ve come up empty and decided to ask you all. The object is hard, like rock, does not rattle, it’s approximately 1.75 x .75 inches. It’s coloring is almost flesh tone, with darker gray areas and yellowish parts inside the more damaged area. The space at first glance looking fetus like, and there seems to be a little wrinkled piece that looks tail or appendage like. I thought maybe a petrified seed or nut but so far nothing I’ve looked at fits. What do you think? Thanks, J

B, really has me stumped. It's a very 3D specimen, and I've seen similarities in pictures of flora as well as fauna. My totally wild guess is Amynilyspes wortheni, a pill millipede.

I've viewed many of the members' photos of Mazon Creek fossils, but as still running into problems with identification. Many of the identified specimens have a doppelganger counterpart in another kingdom, or a similar-looking counterpart in the same kingdom. Sometimes, in my own collection of Mazon Creek fossils, I don't even realize what I'm looking at until I photograph it and look closely at the picture. And I realize that some specimens are simply inadequate in detail to make an identification. I would like to present some of my questionable pieces, and would welcome your commentsl Possibly Asterophyllites equisetiformis?
