Jones1rocks Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 To all of those who have made suggestions, educated guesses, and definitive identifications: This is the last one I currently have a question on, and I want you all to know that I have appreciated all of your efforts in helping me to understand and identify some of my more problematic specimens. I have learned a lot from the information on The Fossil Forum, the galleries, and from comments and links provided by everyone. Most of all, I have learned that I know very little, and that makes me appreciate your knowledge even more. Thank you so very much! ~Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdeutsch Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 has an arthropod look to my eye but it could possibly be a beat up Tully see for example http://www.museum.state.il.us/exhibits/mazon_creek/gallery.php?RollID=roll01&FrameID=acanthotelson_dorsal https://www.google.com/search?q=mazon+arthropod&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjG-cnm66LYAhUJ62MKHVeFC6AQ_AUICigB&biw=1661&bih=771#imgrc=eBfoduz4D4FyGM: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Jones, what were you saying about educated guesses and definitive identifications? The others are being a bit silly.

No, i would hazard a speculative guess at Coprinoscolex ellogimus or better known as a "leech". But i'm definitely not 100%. 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...

You can even see her tail curled up at the lower left. Seriously, I vote for arthropod of some sort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimravis Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 There are portions that look like a leech and then you have the 3 brown lines that remind me of a Tully, you add the size of the specimen and I give you "A baby Tully that ate a Leech". That's all I have for this one. I have so many things that I have ID as "Unknown Fauna". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeargleSchmeargl Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Looks like my cat, too. Honestly though, I haven't got a clue. 1 Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
