Hi all, I recently found this fossil, and I was hoping I could find some help here identifying it. I found it at Fort Sheridan in Illinois, and wasn’t expecting something that looked like it could be vertebrate. I’m familiar with the fossils with the area, and was surprised to find something like this. Any ID suggestions or suggestions for where to get it ID’d would be appreciated. Someone I talked to said it may be an amphibian/tetrapod fossil (potentially an egg) Description of fossil: small potato shaped rock with skull and thorax of specimen showing. “Feet” protruding from the bottom, and there appears to be a little hand covering the skull on one side. Little hand over face Top view showing little hand over right side of skull Right side view Left side view IMG_7547.MOV

I only have a two of these but they are nice (to me anyway). They're Essexella asherae jellyfish from Pit #11, Francis Creek Shale, Braidwood, Illinois. Middle Pennsylvanian period. The first measures 3' x 2" and the second measures 2.75" 2.5".

Does anybody know when or if fossil rock campground will reopen? I've heard rumors that it might reopen by next spring. Any truth to that?
