Popped some Mazon concretions

Hi folks, 

I went to the spoils pile with ESCONI pre-covid.  I've had a bucket sitting out back ever since with concretions.  Went through it today and banged a few together.  I am not good at recognizing Mazon material, so I thought I would ask for some assistance here.

 

I'm 99% sure 1A is a jellyfish, I haven't sorted out the name yet though.

1B appears to have some whiskers or antennae, so I'm hopeful it's some sort of shrimp or creepy crawly.

The rest I'm kind of at a loss on.  Any help appreciated!

All of them except 1B appear to be Essexella jellyfish. 1B appears to be a worm to me.

I concur with Runner64 with the possible exception of 3A. It probably is Essexella asherae, but I'm not 100% positive on that one.

 

 

Mark.

 

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