RCFossils Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 hi plecan, The annelid is definately another Didontogaster. The fish is a paleoniscoid but you will not be able to identify it to the species level because a lot of the diagnostic features are missing. The mazon creek paleoniscoids are in dire need of revision. Because of the generally small size they are a very difficult group to work with.
