New Members Brass Posted July 23 New Members Share Posted July 23 Is this a possible coprolite? Ran into a group of people hunting for them a few years ago, and found this while floating the river this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 It's hard for me to imagine it being a coprolite. What information did you get from those folks that led you to question this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Brass Posted July 23 Author New Members Share Posted July 23 Just that they were a group that routinely went up looking for them, and that the Bob has a lot of fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Brass Posted July 23 Author New Members Share Posted July 23 Other than that, it’s poo shaped and has some inclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Cropped, rotated, and brightened: Looks like a sandstone nodule, to me.

New Members Brass Posted July 23 Author New Members Share Posted July 23 Thanks for helping out. I really don’t know anything about fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I don't think the shape is distinct enough or the inclusions defined well enough to call it a coprolite. @Carl is kind of our expert on these though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I agree; It's lacking the details needed to ID it as a coprolite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
