Mazon Creek Fossils


The plants and animals found in concretions recovered from the Francis Creek Shale are some of the most exciting and important fossils that have been found in the state of Illinois. These fossils are known as the Mazon Creek fossils, because they were originally found along Mazon Creek in northeastern Illinois.

This exhibit shows some of the more interesting and dramatic types of fossils recovered from these remarkable deposits.
