Fascinating indeed, I have one from a Mazon Creek nodule and love it. 

But WOW! 

Yours are amazing. And seven of 'em! 

Splendid. :wub:

Excellent! Great preservation.. I'm not sure I've seen as good from Mazon but then maybe I haven't seen enough of those to tell.

Those are great, what excellent detail! My Mazon Creek ones are not as nice as yours.
