Hipockets Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Can anyone tell me if this a fish coprolite ? Its from SE North Carolina, mostly cretaceous but some eocene mixed in. Peedee form. and Castle Hayne form. The wormy pattern is flat not round like the worms I am use to seeing. Its 1 cm long. Any ideas ? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 never seen anything like this. You have a good eye as always. Aldente will probably have an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Same - never seen anything like this. Coprolite is possible but not a great match. Very interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Parasite (flatworm?) in coprolite ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I think it is a coprolite. Might not be fish. I find some very tiny ones that are similar when I look for micro teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipockets Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Thanks everyone. Eric, do you think the inclusion is a flatworm ? and if possibly not fish, do you have any suspects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
