Is this coprolite? From the green river formation

sp!  COPROLITE

 

Copro- is a combining form used like a prefix meaning “dung,” “feces,” or “excrement.” That is, poop. It is used in technical terms, especially in biology.

Dang it… i am ashamed to have missed that

 

this may seem trivial but one of our duties here is to educate folks, so correct spelling and pronunciation count

I would not call Bellyup "dyslexic" because of one mis-spelled word.  It's rare to have the word or even the prefix as part of an active vocabulary, so an occasional stumble is not unexpected.  We use many passive vocabulary words here in technical conversations, and we expect some stumbles.  I usually catch mine sooner or later.

It's a fish coprolite.
