Jenstar Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Hi All! Could you please help me to ID this specimen that was found 2019, Miami Beach, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia. I'm hoping it is turtle coprolite from the pliocene. I have other pieces if that would help. Thank in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I'm afraid it will be difficult to prove. Just maybe @GeschWhat can help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Looks more like part of an Ophiomorpha nodosa burrow, to me. 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM - APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

GeschWhat Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'm thinking Ophiomorpha as well. Rather than little coprolite pellets, these are likely crustacean spitballs. 2 Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
