Hi

I don't think this is a worm.

Have you tried a search on the mazon creek fossils on the net ?

I wouldn't even venture a guess, as the Mazon fossils are notoriously difficult to interpret, for those with no experience.

 

Maybe @RCFossils or @fossilized6s can have a look see. :) 

 

Nice username, btw. ;)

It could be a poorly preserved worm but i am leaning more towards a trail. It might also be an Essexella jellyfish that did not split properly.

I also was wondering if it couldn't be a jellyfish or an ichnofossil of some sort.
