This is from the Ridgemont Quarry site in Fort Erie, Ontario. Eurypterids are the primary target there for most folks.

It has the general form of a coprolite. Maybe ? Or is burrow fill more likely ?

I think this may be a pyritized burrow infill.

I have seen much pyrite in the Bertie Dolostone. Some has been a replacement for Halite hopper crystals other places have been small fractures where the opening was infilled with pyrite or the pyrtite replaced what was first in the cracks ( maybe Gypsum ). I'm not certain what I am looking at in the pictured specimen.
