See what I did there? 😉...

Now that we established that I'm hilarious, let me show off my turd. I found what I believe to be two coprolite specimens in Arizona.

Neither are very large and one appears to have a number tiny broken up fossil inclusions in it.

 

They both look like other examples I've seen online but I'd love to hear what you guys think.

Did I actually find a couple of forbidden "dino nuggets"?

What age and what formation are they from. Locality?

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.   

See my Arizona Paleontology Guide    link  The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

Yes, I agree with the above. Please be more specific about both stratigraphy and locality. Your tags are rather misleading.

The shape is basically correct, and at least one looks to have inclusions which is important for positively IDing as coprolite.  Can post some clear CLOSE photos? No hands, fingers, etc.

Idk about the age but it was north of Phoenix, up in the mountains. Northern Arizona. There was some chert, and lots of hematite in the general area. I'll try to post some clearer pictures later.

Someone suggested the age was paleozoic another said maybe devonion but I couldn't really tell you.  That's why I tagged both lol. Maybe it's neither of those?

I uploaded more photos. These are about as close as I can get
