Alafia River gastropods in possible coprolite.

I believe I got the material from someone on here years ago and I get a chance to go through some from time to time. This is Alafia River stuff from Lithia Florida. It had a note of Oligocene/Miocene for age.

 

One of them is kind of hard to see but right beside the other and I suspect these are internal molds in a piece of coprolite.

@Shellseeker Jack reminded me that I collected that matrix years ago on my only trip to the Alafia. It turned out to be pretty productive stuff, but I only picked up on the normal vertebrate stuff. I have no idea what you have in the photo, but if you can get a clearer shot, somebody might pick up on it.

Thanks I had no idea where I got it I thought it came from here. I got several other formations as well. I don't know about getting a better shot. I'm still working through the program with the camera. It's also in with other finds right now when I get enough I start to sort them.
