Nimravis Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I came across this piece tonight and am looking to see what others think. This piece has what appears to be a faint gut line and 2- eyes. I was thinking possible Hagfish, but not convinced. @RCFossils @stats @Mark Kmiecik @connorp @deutscheben 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I'm not familiar with hagfish, so I'll let others chime in. 1 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...
RCFossils Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I would agree. looks to be a hagfish. Another fantastic piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdp Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Head area looks segmented, which you wouldn't expect in a hagfish. Could just be the preservation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
