Thinking it's shark, wondering what type of if is and thoughts about it. 

I'm going to post more in the replys since I can't load all at once. 

One of them is different then the others all found in Venice Florida.

Went through my misc. Pile and was wondering about these. Are they coprolite and from what? Is there any way to determine species of shark?

In the wrong section. Wanted to make sure it didnt get passed over

 

They were both under FOSSIL ID

That said, I'm not seeing any coprolites. 

I see some infilled burrows. 

Granted, coprolites are not my area of interest/knowledge.

Looking at these pictures, there is only one specimen (see below) that could be a shark scroll coprolite.  However, based upon the large size and outside surface texture I'm doubtful of this specimen also:

Below is what a shark scroll coprolite looks like internally and then a complete shark scroll coprolite (25 mm):

Agreed. No poopies.

The first one comes the closest to looking like a coprolite but it would really need to be seen in-hand by someone who knows coprolites well.
