Tjf98 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Hi, I was wondering if this mazon creek concretion i opened was actually anything or just a dud. I've seen some similar to this that we're actually something so not sure. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjf98 Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Also this is another of the same case if there's at ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjf98 Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Last one from this cycle that I'm unable to identify. Coprolite? Some creature? Pretty confused on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjf98 Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Actually one more. Leaf or nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 These photos are pretty blurry when blown up. Can you try to take the photos outside, in daylight? Maybe try to get different lengths away from the fossil to maximize exposure.

Tjf98 Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 Here's those in better light, hope it helps! After drying the small round one definitely doesn't look like anything, so not including that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I don't see anything identifiable. Just "blobs", which are common in MC concretions, and mineral staining. These may have been something organic at the outset but may have decomposed too much before fossilization. I have some beautifully formed, three-dimensional "blobs" in my collection that there's no chance of identifying, like this one: Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
