Tales From the Shale Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Hello all, this is a small concretion I broke by hand from the Mazonia Braidwood locale. Concretion is 1.1 inch or 2.42 cm in diameter. I'm thinking it's simply empty, however in the event it was a hard to see jellyfish I figured I'd ask. I think animals usually appear as white carbonized silhouettes but some of the jellyfish appear colored.

connorp Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I don't see an obvious fossil here. There is no such thing as the "Mazon Creek Formation". Mazon Creek fossils refer to fossils originating from the Francis Creek Shale Member of the Carbondale Formation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These fossils from that site seem to be really difficult and ambiguous at times, hence why I asked. Thank you though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
