Throwback Thursday #25: Hunting Ghosts, Blobs, and Assorted Monsters in Illinois’ Coal Age Nodules

This is Throwback Thursday #25.  In these, we look back into the past at ESCONI specifically and Earth Science in general.  If you have any contributions, (science, pictures, stories, etc …), please send them to esconi.info@gmail.com.  Thanks!


The following is an article by Cecilia Duluk about the fossil blobs (and monsters) found in Mazon Creek concretions.  This article appeared in the July/August 1968 issue of Earth Science.  I like how she refers to Pit 11 as the new area.  It’s interesting to read what was thought about the “blobs” 50+ years ago.  And while we understand more now, there is still so so much to research and understand!!!!
