Hi all, I'm still going through 20 flats of mostly unmarked Mazon Creek fossils, purchased from the estate of a prolific collector here in Central Illinois. I have many questions about identification. The following are a few of my still unidentified specimens, of which I realize their may be a number of worms, as well as some possible fauna. I would like to throw these pictures out there and see if anyone can positively identify them just based on the photographs. I'll start with number 1, and post three pictures of each. Thanks so much!

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.

C. I'd like to think is a bristle worm.

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?
