Headed back out to Mazon for my second trip. Found a few already split jellyfish. I have a few more for some of you experts out there.

 

#1 This one was found in the Braidwood biota everything else is Essex (marine) biota. Looks like a part of a plant but not sure what exactly.

If anyone has any good sources for identifying Mazon creek fossils, let me know because I would love to try and ID these on my own but don't know what I'm looking for besides what I already have.

The first one may be a cyperites.  Have a look at some google  images of those.  The rest I think are just mineral staining. I don't see much that's identifiable.

might be the last one for a while. This one caught my attention because of the lines coming off the 3D bubble

Unfortunately the lines that you are seeing are typical fracturing lines on these nodules. The fossil plane is the piece just on the very middle, and sadly there isn't enough of the fossil to identify it.
