Hello all - 

 

 I had put this aside as a typical Essexella asherae (jellyfish) but after cleaning, I was unsure.

It doesn’t have the base and this one has much more pronounced ridges/waves than any of the other of the ones I have.

There’s 2 sets of images under different lighting. Thanks in advance!

Jelly fish / sea anemone is what it looks like to me.

They have many different looks, and various preservations.

Or it could be soft body parts of something else -- hard to tell due to preservation and orientation.

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

I am also thinking Essexella asherae. It is weird looking, but a lot of MC pieces are.
