Mazon creek ID.

I came back across this fossil after taking another look through my Mazon creek collection.  It looks like some type of creature with a preserved trail?  I had previously missed it, thinking it was part of plant material that it is associated with.

Overall it resembles an Essexella asherae to me, and that may be a fold in its skirt. Sometimes E. asherae will show many or all its folds and sometimes only one or two. Of course, it's possible that it is something else completely. I looked at an enlarged image of the specimen, and didn't really come to any conclusions other than this. Do have the counterpart or did it disintegrate?

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