kristinkirk Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Hoping this is a big a_ _ Coprolite??! (and NOT a darn rock. LOL!) Approximate Measurements: Length 6 ½” x Width across fattest end is 3” (with a 7 ½” girth wrapped around) and 1 ½” across smallest end (w/ a 4 ½” girth). Weight is 610 grams. (Dang it. Have a pic of the backside as well as the opposite end tip, but, they aren't uploading for some reason?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 If it's a coprolite question then we'd better call Lori @GeschWhat!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 If not a coprolite, possibly a burrow. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resize the pics, reply to your topic with additional pictures, or sometimes just refreshing your browser will let you upload more.

GeschWhat Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I think there is a good chance it is a coprolite. It is hard to tell for sure. Can you upload a photo of the backside? Sometimes you just have to refresh the page before you try to upload another photo.

GeschWhat Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 It is really hard to tell for sure. With SC coprolites, there is a 50-50 chance they are sticky when wet. Care to try the lick test? Just touch it to the tip of your tongue to see if it sticks. If it sticks, your definitely have a coprolite. If not, best I can say is maybe. It has the right shape, and coprolites are found in SC rivers. If it doesn't stick, you could try cleaning off some of the schmutz to see if there are any visible inclusions. However, there wouldn't be any if it is from a croc. You could also try scraping away a little bit of the outer surface to see if the interior is a homogeneous, tannish color.
