caldigger Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Looks a bit like the Beatles "Yellow Submarine". Other than that, I got nothin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimravis Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I am not seeing anything on this one- maybe take a picture a little farther away, sometimes that helps with Mazon Creek items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I'll go with submarine as well.....lol No, it looks like a "blade" that had a bad split (Esconichthys apopyris). But I'd confirm with the real experts @fiddlehead @RCFossils 1 ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the black spot also, but I still am not seeing a Blade unless it is very poorly preserved. Here are a few of mine for comparison. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I believe it's a bad split. I think this is upside down, you can see a possible "gill" coming out here. 2 ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimravis Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Just now, fossilized6s said: I believe it's a bad split. I think this is upside down, you can see a possible "gill" coming out here. I know- but the big portion that you have circled appears to be a fracture break and all of the blades that I have seen are flat with the fin as a discoloration. But that is the fun with Mazon Creek soft bodied preservation- many people see different things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
