What is this thing above the fish?

Think of the slang term for death. 'Soiling the sleeping mat'. These fish are thought to have died from hypoxyic conditions during algal blooms.

Not absolutely sure myself, but I often see these labelled as coprolites, aka fossil poo-poo

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

yup, it is poop.

and EXTREMELY common with Green River fish such as yours.

 

If you keep looking I bet there will be more in that piece of rock!

Maybe that's the key for the questioned phosphatic globose "things" usually encountered in the Moroccan matrix?

Maybe like yours. I'm referring to something like 1 and 2 in my picture. :headscratch:

Also to me, but I'm not a specialist in these things. :)
BTW,... I was the "artist", and I was very careful with the prep of the Moroccan matrix.
