(b) Chiton Glaphurochiton concinnus (PE29045). (c) Rhabdoderma (exiguum?) (Burpee/Lauer Foundation LF836). (d) Polychaete Esconites zelus (ROM47529). (e) Priapulid Priapulites konecniorum (FMNHPE25135). (f) Actinopterygian Platysomus circularis (FMNHPF7333). (g) Unidentified trigonotarbid arachnid, most probably Aphantomartus pustulatus. (BMRP2014MCP850). (h) The seed fern Alethopteris sp. (ROM43584). (i) Asterophyllites sp. ROM 43576. (j) Annularia stellate(?) that has been overgrown with sphalerite (LEIUG83622). (k) Chondrichthyan tooth; Phoebodus? (ROM56812A) demonstrates, that despite an absence of large fossils, larger animals lived in the Mazon Creek area. (l) Concretion with pyritic core from pit 11 (not accessioned). (m) Holothurian Achistrum? (P69TG22a). (n) Saurerpeton obtusum (ROM56804B). Scales: 20 mm.
