GeschWhat Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 If this was from any other formation, I'd say they were coprolites. It reminds me of the coprolites from the Rhaetic Bone Beds in the UK. However, I don't know enough about Mazon Creek fossils to say that what these are. 2 Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Man Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Looks like carbonized wood material to me. However, I could be wrong. It could also be a mixture of iron oxide and pyrite. 1 ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I think the area cropped from the third picture shows a crinoid columnal facet with the crenulae and the lumen. 5 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Miocene_Mason Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I think it's an iron concretion, online example: “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 That will be a good possibility. As Paul suggested earlier, the reddish-brown color could be from the iron content in the matrix. Maybe that's it, ironstone . 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

ynot Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 It is an iron rich sandstone with some shell material in it. The darker area looks like a concretion, but maybe a coprolite. The little round one is an ammonite, but I do not know name. Edit, round one is a crinoid segment not an ammonite. My bad. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
