Hello all! Had a successful hunt with my 16 year old daughter last week, we both came back with heavy backpacks and smiles on our faces. I have a lot to freeze/thaw, but I had a few open partials (that were not Essexella ) that I was hoping were not weathered past ID'ing. These were covered in deposits and the edges are pretty rounded which leads me to believe some were open for quite some time - and I am not extremely gentle with those ones when prepping/cleaning. But still happy with the 3rd trip out ever! 1 - It has some bumps/raised areas close the the break and smooths out, and since it is broke, I can see the fossilized organism was pretty thick - maybe stick or fish tail? 2-pretty small - has that white fossil material that is not from the elements though - 3 - just a circle but has the white fossilized material 4 - worm of some sort - no visable mouth parts that I can see - 5 - another worm of sorts - # 6 - Stem? I so wanted it to be a blade! # 7 - Some sort of shrimp or molt? This one is strange - has a groove/indentation/valley that runs from the center of the object to the upper right corner in this first image - it is just odd looking. # 8 - Lastly this one - maybe one of those tunnels I read about in the Esconi book? just a little half circle valley that ends at the white deposit. Thanks in advance, I appreciate the help! Patrick
