	Uhaul: Illinois SuperGraphic
		Mikulic: We have a blessing in that there are literally thousands of specimens of Tully Monster fossils that have been found, which makes it easier to study the animal and see it from different angles and different types of preservation, with an emphasis on various parts.
		The Tully Monster is a symbol of the tremendous contribution of amateur paleontologists and amateur naturalists, who have spent hundreds of thousands of hours going through this area looking for fossils.
		Tully Monsters are certainly common there, but I wouldn’t say they were abundant, and it is simply through the activities of amateur collectors that we are able to have a lot of these specimens preserved and available for science.

	Tully Monster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tully Monster (Tullimonstrum gregarium), so far apparently unique to Illinois, was a soft-bodied invertebrate that lived in shallow tropical coastal waters of muddy estuaries during the Pennsylvanian geological period, about 300 million years ago.
		The Tully Monster had fins not unlike a cuttlefish and a long proboscis with eight small sharp teeth with which it may have probed actively for small creatures and edible detritus in the muddy bottom.
		It was part of the ecological community represented in the unusually rich group of soft-bodied organisms found among the assemblage called the Mazon Creek fossils from their site in Grundy County, Illinois.
