Circuit equivalent for fitting my data

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on fitting impedance spectroscopy data to an equivalent circuit model. The user has observed that while their equivalent circuit aligns with the data at higher frequencies, it fails to accurately represent the data at low frequencies, where the resistance values increase instead of decreasing. The user seeks suggestions for circuit elements that exhibit decreasing reactance at lower frequencies, indicating a potential resonant circuit. The challenge lies in adjusting the equivalent circuit to reflect the observed dip in Z''.

Impedancy Spectroscopy
I did a few experiments recently of impedance spectroscopy, and I've gathered some data that i'm having some issues to find an equivalent circuit that can fit the data.

The equivalent circuit that I've got, it's pretty similar with the data (graph and circuit below)

But the problem is, at low frequencies, my data values drop, while the fit from the circuit keeps going up.

Z' represents the real part from the impedance, so basically I need to my equivalent circuit to drop the resistance at low frequencies.

What circuit element, or what I could do, so that I could find an equivalent circuit to my data?

Can you think of a component whose reactance (impedance) goes down as the frequency goes down?
 
The dip in Z'' suggests there is a resonant circuit somewhere.
 
Most likely this can only be answered by an "old timer". I am making measurements on an uA709 op amp (metal can). I would like to calculate the frequency rolloff curves (I can measure them). I assume the compensation is via the miller effect. To do the calculations I would need to know the gain of the transistors and the effective resistance seen at the compensation terminals, not including the values I put there. Anyone know those values?
