Mahnmut Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Posted 7 minutes ago Is this of interest or just a stone? Hi, maybe both. Looks like pyrite, which often forms around fossil material. There is not much of a distinguishable shape for me though, maybe a pyritized coprolite? @GeschWhat? Nice piece that I would have collected in any case.

Fossildude19 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I am not seeing anything recognizable here, but Mahnmut has a good idea.

Rockwood Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Coprolite seems a long shot to me, but the call is good to wait and see. I'd call it an iron rich concretion. With the caveat being that I've been sorting lingulids from bivalves an brachiopods in a fragmented concretion this morning myself. The irregular shapes in the stuff I'm looking at seems to match that which is seen as fill in articulated specimens. Pockets of clay minerals aligned in the concretionary goo ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
