Composite Tully Monster

[Nimravis]

I know that some fossils from Morocco are composites, but that also occurs sometimes when it comes to the Tullimonstrum gregarium (Tully Monster) from  Mazon Creek. The only difference with the Tully Monster composites is that they are easily recognizable.

 

Here is a nice 7” example of what I am talking about. With this piece, the added part is the tail, and I think that you would agree that it is a pretty close match. The scale cube is 1 cm.

 

 

The neck portion, though the jaw is not visible.

 

 

Transverse bar with the two black eyes.

I would happily have this in my collection. 

Even a fragment of a tully would be lovely, and this gives a pretty good idea of what they looked like.
