Maybe a 'blob' ; the jellyfish Essexella asherae? 

I think it is one of the ferns from the mazon creek.

Peering closer at the picture enlarged, I think you are right. 

I need new glasses.:unsure:

At a distance. 

But I'm pretty sure it's a fern pinnule. You can see the veins in close up. 

I was wrong and blind.:shakehead:

This was found in South Dakota?  Certainly looks like mazon creek.

I bought boxes of fossils from the back room of an antique store & they were donated by a friend when she passed away... She was from the Deadwood area.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
