Brondonh Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I'm still trying to get familiarized with coprolite. I found this in a lake that is being dug. It was around sharks teeth whale bones etc. It's very dense, has a nice color to it and seems to have a spiral formation starting but it's hard to tell because it appears to be broken. This was found in Venice Florida. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
