Here are a couple pieces that I want to post to see what others think @RCFossils @Mark Kmiecik @stats @deutscheben @connorp This first piece, I think might be a G. Greenei. This next piece may be a “blade”, Esconichthys apopyris. And lastly, 2 worms.

Here are two new Mazon Creek finds I'm not positive on. This first one looks very familiar but I can't place it. The second is a nice 3D piece of wood. My best guess is a Psaronius stem (tree fern), but I haven't found anything like this before so I was hoping for a second opinion. @Nimravis @stats @Mark Kmiecik @deutscheben @RCFossils I appreciate any help.

I am thinking that this is an example of Palaeoxyris prendelli, if it is, I believe it is my first of this specific one. @RCFossils @stats

Just came across this piece in a box of loose concretions. It has the look of an insect wing, but believe it might be a Neuropteris inflata leaf. What do you think? @RCFossils @deutscheben @stats @connorp @Mark Kmiecik Sorry for the darker pics, but this is a real black concretion.

I have two odd pieces tonight and was wondering if anyone has an idea. @RCFossils @deutscheben @Mark Kmiecik @stats @connorp This first one it odd looking, I am thinking fauna, but wonder if it is a seed. This next piece reminds me of an insect, but I think it might be a worm.

@RCFossils @Mark Kmiecik @connorp @deutscheben @stats Looking for thoughts on these few pieces- It looks a bit like the barnacle Illilepas damrowi Thinking possible Reticulomedusa greenei This next one is odd looking and the only thing that I can think of is an Octomedusa pieckorum. Lastly, looking for something on this bivalve.

Yesterday at work, I ran into a co-worker who knew that I collected fossils. He had me meet him at an area on his property in Coal City that was having some construction taking place and advised me that he thought concretions were there. I started looking around and found a number of them. Unfortunately, this area will covered over today. Below are a couple that I found in situ. I found this big concretions opened and face down. I rubbed it on my pants leg and thought it might be an Asterophyllites, but with my eyes and they way the dirt was moved by my rubbing it, I could not tell. The first thing that I did when I got home was to clean it and this beautiful piece emerged, I wish I had the other half. The fossil it’s self it 5” long and I have never found one like it before. I sent out a couple PM’s for an ID and I am just waiting. I did not get home until after 8 pm and that stopped me from posting more pictures from the collection I just purchased. But actual fossil collecting takes precedent. I also found these two Neuropteris pieces that were opened- this is what they looked like after cleaning. I also have this piece in the car that I just took a picture of- it looks like coprolite, but I will have to clean it up.

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 Oops, just realized I did not include any size info. These are all close to the same size -- about 1.5 inches (4.25 cm) in the greatest dimension.
