Here are the last of recently collected Mazon material with fossils already showing. More to come as the freeze-thaw cycles take effect. Thanks as always @Nimravis @stats @RCFossils @deutscheben @Mark Kmiecik @Runner64 Specimen 1 (4.1 cm long) — A fern, found as is. Enough detail for an ID? Specimen 2 (9.1 cm long) — Macroneuropteris? Found as is. Did a light vinegar wash. Specimen 3 (2.7 cm in diameter) — Found already split. D and E illuminated to show relief. Now that my copy of Wittry's Fauna has arrived, I wonder if this might be Essexella asherae, as there appears to be a semi-circular feature above a more rectangular feature, perhaps most visible in C and E. Specimen 4 (~15.5 cm in diameter) — Found already split. I cannot make much sense of this. Maybe a jumble of plant pieces? D and E illuminated to show relief. There seem to be some fossily features, like 3 or 4 repeated ridges in the bottom right of D, a long linear feature in the upper right of D (some of the material here is dirt, I realized after taking the photos). The patches of different color in B don't obviously correspond to the different relief elements in D.
