Grandpa brought a huge oval clump 2.5ft x 1.5 ft with from ND to WA in 1950. Knew it was special, but not sure how to find out what I’m looking at. Clump broke apart and I’ve Googled like crazy researching, but I thought I’d ask someone with more experience and info than myself. Pretty sure it it part of the original “standing rock” in Ransom, ND.

Found around the yard. I had thought it was some old concrete they had dug up. I hadn't really noticed the one out front till tonight, and then I noticed the pebbles? sitting on top of it and I remembered reading about them eating pebbles. What does anyone else think?

A friend of mine(yes, it really is a friend, not just me lol)apparently got these in a box of stuff, and they were labeled as being from mosasaurs. He asked if they were coprolites, but i don't know exactly how they were described. I told him no, I don't think any coprolites would be so smooth, even, and without any imperfections(I'm sure there are some like that out there, but that must be pretty rare. A random group of coprolites aren't going to all be like that, I'd imagine). I told him I don't really know and that id ask, but my best guess would be either gastroliths, or nodules. I don't think mosasaurs have gastroliths, but plesiosaurs do, and the ID of mosasaur seems bunk anyway, no matter what they are. As far as nodules, I don't know if nodules are found in that kind of site, so yeah......does anyone have any idea? Oh yeah, they're from Khouribga, Morocco.
