Possible coprolite? (Big Brook, NJ)

[TRexEliot]

Found this yesterday at Big Brook in New Jersey. Trying to figure out if it's just a rock with an interesting texture or a fossil. About 1×0.5×0.5 cm

Not seeing any kind of inclusions that would make me think coprolite.

Looks like a chert pebble.

I'm afraid it's not twisted enough to be a shark  poop either.

I generally agree with what's been said here but still feel somewhat unsure.

Actually, a few of us members were recently discussing pieces like this - it COULD be a reptile coprolite (I donated a piece that looked similar).

I'm having trouble loading the thread here but if you search my thread on February 9, 2020 under 'Coprolite Faker?? New Jersey', it's a decent comparison to this one!

I may be the only one who can honestly add, well said.

Hahaha! Fortunately, someone fixed it for me and applied the link! I have to admit, all of my personal advancements in technology (including photography) have come from posting on this website and working with other Paleontologists!

I think I'm a bit more inclined to think this is a coprolite than not.
