Roby Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 This middle Pennsylvanian concretion from Mazon Creek (Francis Creek Shale), was discovered in the fall of 2014 in the Mazon Creek Heritage Site. I could use some help identifying. The preservation is not the best. I see no indication of the existence of wings but I sense there were some. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimravis Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 No clue- maybe take a sharper picture. @RCFossils Rob do you see something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stats Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 It's hard to see. Use you magnifying glass. Cheers, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I can't say that's an arthropod with any certainty. I don't see insect either. It may be part of something organic, but I couldn't tell you what. I don't know if better-focused photos would change that, but it couldn't hurt. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
