The Mazon Creek fossil beds are a conservation lagerstätte found near Morris, in Grundy County, Illinois. The fossils are preserved in ironstone concretions, formed approximately 309 million years ago in the mid-Pennsylvanian epoch of the Carboniferous period. These concretions frequently preserve both hard and soft tissues of animal and plant materials, as well as many soft-bodied organisms that do not normally fossilize. The quality, quantity and diversity of fossils in the area, known since the mid-nineteenth century, make the Mazon Creek lagerstätte important to paleontologists, in attempting to reconstruct the paleoecology of the sites. The locality was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1997.

  • Il giacimento di Mazon Creek, nell'Illinois, è uno dei più noti lagerstatten fossili del mondo. Risale alla fine del Carbonifero medio (inizio del Pennsylvaniano, circa 320 milioni di anni fa) e si è formato in un ambiente anossico, in un deposito di fanghiglia sottostante una zona di acque basse. Il particolare tipo di conservazione del sedimento ha permesso la fossilizzazione delle parti molli degli animali, un fatto rarissimo nella preservazione dei resti. (it)
  • Mazon Creek est une formation géologique et un site fossilifère situé près de Morris, dans le comté de Grundy, en Illinois aux États-Unis. Les fossiles se trouvent dans un dépôt de sédiments de type konzervat-lagerstätte, contenant des animaux dont les parties molles sont exceptionnellement bien conservées. Les fossiles sont trouvés dans des concrétions de sidérite, un minéral riche en fer, qui se sont formées il y a approximativement 300 millions d'années, au milieu du Pennsylvanien, une sous-période du Carbonifère. Ces concrétions préservent fréquemment à la fois des tissus souples et durs d'animaux et de plantes, ainsi que de nombreux organismes à corps mous qui ne se fossilisent pas habituellement. La qualité, la quantité et la diversité des fossiles de cette zone, connue depuis le mil (fr)
  • Mazon Creek – stanowisko paleontologiczne typu Konservat-Lagerstätten, położone w północno-wschodniej części stanu Illinois (USA) nad rzeką (w okolicy Chicago). Występują tutaj skamieniałości karbońskie (środkowy pensylwan; odpowiednik westfalu D), zachowane w konkrecjach sferosyderytowych, sprzed około 308 mln lat.Sferosyderyty spotykane są w obrębie mułowców i piaskowców formacji Francis Creek, powstałych w obszarze delty rzecznej w środowiskach i morskich.Skamieniałości reprezentowane są przez około 720 taksonów (około 400 – flory i 320 – fauny) i zachowane najczęściej w postaci odcisków także części miękkich.
