Animal Facts:
The Tully Monster (Tullimonstrum gregarium) is a bizarre, soft-bodied marine creature from the Pennsylvanian period (about 310 million years ago). Found only in the Mazon Creek fossil beds of Illinois, this cigar-shaped "monster" had a long proboscis with teeth, stalked eyes, and a triangular tail fin. Its classification remains a mystery, with scientists debating whether it was a vertebrate, an invertebrate, or something entirely unique. Despite its strange appearance, it was likely a free-swimming predator in shallow tropical waters. Fun fact: it's the state fossil of Illinois!
