Mystery Ball

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I found an odd, almost perfectly round ball in the desert. At first I thought it was an old ball bearing, but it's not metal. Maybe a coprolite? Or just an average rock that happens to be round...

 

It's 15mm in diameter, found in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. I've found other fossils in the area including petrified wood and brachiopods.

 

Thanks for any assistance, 
Tekk

Welcome to the Forum.  :)

Not a fossil, but geologic in nature, I believe.

This looks similar to Moqui Marbles.
