Tidgy's Dad Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I think that's an ammonite or nautiloid still stuck to a bit of matrix. Welcome to TFF from Africa. I lived in Poland for a year too. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the ridge? If so, That is what makes me question whether this is a coprolite. The surface texture is interesting. @Carl thoughts? Welcome to the forum!

Tidgy's Dad Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Just now, GeschWhat said: Trying to see that. Are you talking about the ridge? If so, That is what makes me question whether this is a coprolite. The surface texture is interesting. @Carl thoughts? Welcome to the forum! If the blue is where the ammonite is stuck to the matrix at the bottom, the yellow is the umbilicus and the green the chamber? This image of the other side, also with umbilicus, looks very like a nautiloid : 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Location of the find / geological settings and a comparative scale may be helpful in the ID. I could see features of your specimen guiding me to microbial laminites with coprolites. excerpt from A. Kochman & J. Matyszkiewicz. 2012. Microbial laminites with coprolites from Upper Jurassic carbonate buildups (Kraków–Czêstochowa Upland, Poland).

Carl Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hmmm... Not seeing enough there to confidently suspect coprolite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
