    7-14-22 Mazon Creek ID

    I am looking to see what members think this piece might be, I am pretty sure that it a Fauna fossil, but the length and lack of real detail have me scratching my head.

    Mazon Creek Arthropod ID

    I had this Mazon Creek arthropod open recently. It was collected from the Braidwood fauna (freshwater/terrestrial), so initially I thought this was just a tiny syncarid shrimp as they are the most common arthropod to find here. However looking at it closer, I'm not so sure and was hoping for a second opinion. In particular, the legs are short and spiny and do not look like shrimp legs to me, although I may be wrong. Here are images of the positive and negative sides of the "head", middle, and rear, respectively. I put "head" in quotes because I can't tell if this is the head of the animal, or if it continues more into the concretion. @RCFossils @Nimravis @Mark Kmiecik @deutscheben @stats @bigred97 @flipper559 Any thoughts are appreciated.
  4. Calling on the usual members, again, to either confirm or refute my attempt at ID on these five Mazon Creek specimens. Thanks in advance. @bigred97 @connorp @deutscheben @fiddlehead @flipper559 @Nimravis @Plantguy @RCFossils @Runner64 @stats @TheRocksWillShoutHisGlory

    7-16-22 Mazon Creek IDs

    @connorp @deutscheben @Mark Kmiecik @RCFossils Here are a few pieces that I am looking for ID’s on- I believe this first two pieces may be Mariopteris, if yes, what species? I have seen something like this before, but cannot remember where, I am thinking some type of seed? Lastly, I am looking for an ID on this poorly preserved, bushy looking worm. I was first thinking Palaeocampa anthrax, but it just does not seem correct.

    7-13-22 Mazon Creek ID - Fauna

    I am looking to see what members this this little guy is. I was thinking that it is possibly the Arrow Worm, Mazoglossus ramsdelli, but am not convinced, the ribbing looks odd. @RCFossils @stats @Mark Kmiecik @deutscheben @connorp

    Mazon Creek ID’s

    Here are 3 Mazon Creek pieces that I am wondering about, I will tag the usual suspects. Thanks in advance. @stats, @Mark Kmiecik , @fiddlehead, @RCFossils, @connorp, @deutscheben
  8. Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well I have recently started getting myself into collecting fossils and I came upon this lot of jellyfish fossils so I purchased them because they seemed interesting and it’s something I never had. Do these look fine ? To me they just look like stained rocks but that could just be because jellyfish are soft bodied organisms. Thanks for your input
  9. I was lucky enough last week to be able to make my second donation to the collections of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. This donation consisted of two Mazon Creek finds from the river itself, both collected on the I&M Canal outing last year. The first is an extremely rare tetrapod larva. The second fossil is an exceedingly well-preserved Orthacanthus tooth, featuring serrations in the cusp, a very rare trait for Mazon Creek teeth of this sort. It may prove to be complete as well. I was able to visit the museum to make the donation this time and it was an honor to go behind the scenes and talk to professional paleontologists about these specimens and Mazon Creek collecting. Thanks again to @jdp for helping make this possible!

    Mazon Creek, ID needed

    What could it be - size is around 1" or 2.5 cm? Some sort of shrimp? I can't check the literature. I am in Maryland right now at my daughter's place doing babysitting. Man, is that exhausting!

    Multiple mazon creek pectin

    In the freeze that process it is common for concretions to flake, on a piece of the flaked off rock I came across multiple pectin fossils including a couple that are about 1mm and am asking for help identifying the species.
