Hi there everyone. I would really appreciate your skills/opinions about if my little ''treasure'' is actually a coprolite or not. I have always believed it to be, just because it looks like a poo with something in it to me. I have forgotten where i found it, but most likely it was in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. It is ovalish in shape and appears to have a ''skin' wrapped around some sort of internal content. As I know zero about fossils, your time and expertise is gratefully appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from someone with excitement and thanks. Photos hopefully attached! Many ch

I have just found this little coprolite? yesterday. This is the second time a coprolite-like fossil has turned up in the shale from the Leighton Fm. I am not really sure on this one, though, due to the presence of crinoid stems. The fossil(s) are from the Leighton Formation, Maine; which is Pridoli, Silurian. The main reason I think it is a coprolite is because of its situation in the shale. The rest of the shale around it is relatively uniform, with no fossils whatsoever. The fossils present in it are one crinoid stem, quite a few ostracods, a very small Orbiculoidea brachiopod,

I unfortunately have no location on this road pie as it came in an auction lot. Is it coprolite? And if so is there any indication as to what animal might have excreted it? Thank you!

So I went and had a great day out at Penn Dixie ( Devonian) this weekend. I brought home a lot of fossils I'll be happy to clean up and put on the shelf. Thankfully, My level of incompetence is quite apparent to anyone that sees me struggle, young man took pity on me and helped me ( I don't know if I'm allowed to tag him in the post). After a long day of fossil collecting, Walking back carrying back a bag that was far too heavy for me, Sweaty ,tired and dehydrated. I wander from the path to look at something that has caught my eye. It shines, it calls to me. What is it?! I pick it up an

Attached pictures are of a stone I discovered in our garden after receiving a load of landscape rock, believe they cam from Colorado. This particular stone is shaped like a road apple left by a horse. It is domed with a flat side like, as I said, a road apple left by a horse. Some of the surfaces are similar to a hard gray shell; while those areas where the shell has broken away are loosely packed red, black and clear crystalyn material that crumbles easily from the stone with light touch of the finger. Any ideas?

Not all rocks that look like poop have a fecal origin. Here are a few things to consider when trying to determine whether or not you have a coprolite: 1. Location, Location, Location – If you haven’t guessed, the first and most important thing to consider is the location your rock was found. Don’t expect to find a coprolite unless you find it in geologic area/layer where other fossils are found. If you find things like bones, teeth and fish scales, or prehistoric tracks, you may just be in in luck. 2. Shape – While fecal matter can be rather free-form when exposed to
