agard22 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Picked this up on the foreshore on Mappleton beach (Holderness Coast, East Yorkshire, United Kingdom). I thought it looked like a poo and wondered if it was indeed a coprolite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I don't think so. Looks more like a concretion or nodule. @Carl @GeschWhat 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

GeschWhat Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Hard to say. I’m not seeing any inclusions. You could try scraping a small area with an X-acto blade. The surface is pretty eroded. If you can scrape down a little way with the blade to expose a bit of the underlying material. If it feels a bit waxy as you are scraping, it could be a coprolite. If it feels at all gritty, it most likely just a rock. 1 Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
