Looks a bit like the Beatles "Yellow Submarine".  Other than that, I got nothin.

I am not seeing anything on this one- maybe take a picture a little farther away, sometimes that helps with Mazon Creek items.

I'll go with submarine as well.....lol

No, it looks like a "blade" that had a bad split (Esconichthys apopyris). But I'd confirm with the real experts @fiddlehead @RCFossils

I saw the black spot also, but I still am not seeing a Blade unless it is very poorly preserved. Here are a few of mine for comparison.

I believe it's a bad split. I think this is upside down, you can see a possible "gill" coming out here.

I know- but the big portion that you have circled appears to be a fracture break and all of the blades that I have seen are flat with the fin as a discoloration. But that is the fun with Mazon Creek soft bodied preservation- many people see different things.
