Tarrant County, Texas.

Not seeing any of the details I would like to see to ID this as a coprolite.

There is a lot of ironstone concretion and oysters in that area. The slight bit of lighter colored material at the surface combined with the texture makes me wonder if this concretion that formed inside a shell.

I'm leaning towards concretion. Is there any evidence of undigested organic material under magnification?
