sloth Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 More Mazon stuff. I really appreciate the ID's people have supplied. Every one helps me understand what these things look like and how to ID them myself. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Man Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 #5 could be a worm or possibly a poorly preserved shrimp. Do you know what pit these came from? Briarwood mazonia park? You will find out over time not every concretion is a fossil even though theres a mass of calcite making it appear something is there. The Field Museum has a wonderful database of specimens collected from the mazon area. ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With some more experience I'll be more selective, but after seeing some of the pictures of "jellyfish", and "worms" I'm afraid to throw anything out. These are all from the south section of Mazonia-Braidwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several small buckets of "nothings"...lol. ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
