Hey folks. Here’s a fossil I found this past weekend while hunting in the black Mecca Quarry Shale in NC Illinois. Ive gotten some suggestions, but the one person with great knowledge of the site wasn’t positive what it was. I do believe he was going to forward pics to fiddlehead. Anyway, I thought I’d throw it out here for you all to have a crack at it. It’s 5 1/2” long. The “points” are both exactly 1 5/8”; or 40 mm, apart. Thanks for the look, and any potential ID’s.

I found this fossil last year in the Mecca Quarry Shale (Pennsylvanian) of Illinois. I posted it previously but no definitive answer. I got a new digital microscope recently and decided to snap a few photos of this specimen up close. Hopefully they might help, though I still have no idea what it is. Thoughts?
