Jones1rocks Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 B, really has me stumped. It's a very 3D specimen, and I've seen similarities in pictures of flora as well as fauna. My totally wild guess is Amynilyspes wortheni, a pill millipede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCFossils Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 This is another shrimp molt. They are fairly common in the Mazonia Braidwood Wildlife Area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'm only seeing what looks like a coprolite but Mazon Creek nodules can be terribly subtle and difficult to identify (as you know) and like a Rorschach Test in that different people can see different things in them. I have many questionable pieces and I really appreciate ones are distinctive enough to identify it to the type of creature (if not to species). Good luck in the identifications--and thanks for the sharp, well-lit photos. Nearly impossible to say much from the blurry dark photos that are sometimes offered with a plea for ID. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deutscheben Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I agree with the coprolite ID, looks quite similar to the one pictured in Richardson's Guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
