From the album: Sharks
A large shark coprolite (likely from the East Coast of the USA), over 3.5" long - probably from a megatoothed shark like C. megalodon. There's a bore/burrow on the left side in this image. -
Found at Calvert Cliffs in Maryland. Is this a shark coprolite or broken tilly bone?

A few highlights from a quick trip to an eastern Virginia stream with @Gizmo. Found loads of coprolites. The shark coprolite in the upper left has peculiar pitting on the surface. The shark coprolite in the bottom right shows potential striations from the spiral working of the gut, pitting and the inner coil of the spiral. The large central coprolite doesn't look to be from a shark, does show some striations from possible gut lining or gut movement/emptying and lumpy little inclusions. The two larger teeth are from the boundary of the Eastover and Calvert Formations. The remainder of the fossils are likely from the Newport News Beds (Popes Creek Sands equivalent).
