There's probably little chance this is a true coprolite. The market is flooded with amorphous siliceous masses that are sold as coprolites because it is way easier. This certainly resembles on of these. No one who researches coprolites considers these to be genuine coprolites: They are not made of material found in verified coprolites and they never have organic inclusions - 2 features critical for proper coprolite Identification.
