Coprolite?

Recommended Posts

Found on limestone river bank in Alabama. There were fossils nearby (shark teeth, shells, some kind of vertebrae) but not exactly where these were found. Can’t see in the photo but there are tiny gold looking flakes in it.

Thanks Grandpa! I had to google pyrite but yeah, looks like that’s what it is.

There's really only one true way to tell if it's a coprolite:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

taste.

So uuummm... just what does a coprolite taste like? :headscratch:
