I found this and initially thought it was uniquely shaped petrified wood. We have found a lot of petrified wood in the same spot. However, all of the wood that I have found has some evidence of tree rings in the cross section. This does not. The "bottom" or blunt end, looks more like worn bone to my untrained eye. I know that identifying what kind of bone will be impossible, but I am just looking for confirmation that it is indeed bone, and not petrified wood, or just a strange mineral structure in rock. It was found near the Little Colorado River, near Gray Mountain, Arizona, which is about 45 mins north of Flagstaff, AZ. It was found on the surface. We have found what we believe are coprolites with very well preserved seeds in the same exact spot. Thank you for any help!

Hello! As a new member I am excited to learn from more experienced folks on this great forum. We found these coprolites (I think that is what they are) near the Little Colorado River, near Gray Mountain, Arizona which is about 45 mins north of Flagstaff, Arizona. They were both found on the surface. We go to this area to rock hound for jasper, agate and petrified wood, which we find in plenty. Can anyone tell me: 1. Are these coprolites? 2. What kind of seeds are fossilized? 3. Based on location and seed id, who pooped these out? Thank you very much! I am also about to post pics of what I think may be a large bone fragment found the same day and in the same location.
