Nimravis Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) I just came across this piece that was found at Pit 11. I am leaning towards a weird preservation for a Octomedusa pieckorum, but it reminds me of something else that I cannot put my finger on, non Mazon Creek related. What do you think? @RCFossils @stats @Mark Kmiecik @connorp @deutscheben And any other Forum members. Edited August 28, 2022 by Nimravis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I see what you mean. Not really tentacles, but kind-of-round-ish extremities. Perhaps a poorly preserved cross-section of a cone? I can't seem to put my finger on it either. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That there are 8 extremities seems pretty inescapable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimravis Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 Here is another piece- it looks like a lamprey, Mayomyzon pieckoensis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
