Many good suggestions of things to check. I just ran another print...some 50 sheets of paper away from when I printed this originally...and the mark is still there which rules out the paper. Under very close scrutiny with my loupe I can see the dense are on the neg. It isn't a crimp, it isn't from the negs touching during development as there is none of that cloudy mess you get when that happens. The only other idea someone suggested was to refix which I've now done. The neg is hanging to dry....I'll run a print in the morning and see what I come up with.
