Mazon Creek Fossil jelly fish

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well

I have recently started getting myself into collecting fossils and I came upon this lot of jellyfish fossils so I purchased them because they seemed interesting and it’s something I never had.

Do these look fine ?

To me they just look like stained rocks but that could just be because jellyfish are soft bodied organisms.

 

Thanks for your input :)

Welcome to the forum. Yes, these are Essexella asherae jellyfish.

Yes, they are. Not the best examples of Essexella asherae, but they are legit. One or two would need closer inspection to be absolutely sure, but all are typical. Google is your friend on this one. It should pop up a ton of images for comparison.

Mark.

 

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