Dale, 

I think it is the posterior part of the body that we are seeing - the anterior with "claw" and eyebar would be under the rest of the concretion.

Some day I may get the courage to drive a rental out of ORD and pick up some actual knowledge.

I'd choose a rental out of MDW (it's closer).

 

Heading up that way in a few weeks but with a busy schedule. Still trying to figure out if I can squeeze in some time to collect some nodules. Also Southwest flies into MDW and not ORD (you get 2 free suitcases up to 50 pounds with Southwest ).

 

 

Cheers.

I assume you are familiar with their standards, but do you care to offer an opinion on which part ?

I’m not familiar enough with partial Tully’s to be describing which part of the animal is present with this specimen; however, I am a active member of ESCONI.  So is RCFossils, and Fiddlehead.  Two of the worlds most renoun Mazon experts.  They wouldn’t action off a faux fossil.  

 

I will add fhat its possibly the underside of the animal?  Maybe?  I’m don’t see the typical markings one would see looking at the top side of the animal.  That’s just a guess, though.
