Thank you for sharing more of your finds. Thank you, I've considered parting with that tully as i prefer not to keep duplicates, but have been too busy to actively sell or trade it. I only have one box of concretions left freezing and dont think I'll be able to hunt for a second season in a row, so its a good time to catch up on photographing and sharing them.

Hm, not sure I see a fish. Well I do see a fish-like shape but I'm not convinced it's a fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilDAWG Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I'll readily admit that I often have trouble seeing Mazon Creek fossils. That being said, I also do not see a fish. Can you try lighting from a different angle to bring out the details better? Thanks! Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree. I do not see anything indicating a fossil let alone a fish. What structures are you seeing that you are basing your identification on?

TheRocksWillShoutHisGlory Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Next are a couple of colored Annularia species I like how this one preserved in 3 different colors, making it look a little like fireworks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRocksWillShoutHisGlory Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 This is a Belotelson preserved in a dorsal view. Side note, someone else found this concretion before I did, cracked it with a hammer and it broke on a plane where the fossil did not exist and dumped it for me to almost discard but freeze/thaw anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just rubbed the wrong way at how some of the doubt was worded. At best it's very poorly preserved. I was looking at a "head" with mouth and eye, and potential "tail" or "fin" at the back. The middle of the specimen not being preserved right, or the concretion not splitting right. This was from my first trip, and I used the "put your bucket outside all winter freeze thaw method" this separated the halves of several nodules including this one, and I was never able to recover the other side of the concretion. Never using that technique again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to photograph this one and the negative side to it again. It looks better when wet, but then I end up with glare problems. Any tips on cleaning/drying a concretion so that the material doesn't settle back onto it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
