Strange shaped rock with belemnites

[Paolo997]

Hi Forum,

always from the Omhden (DE) quarry, i collected this piece. I didn't personally took it from the rocks, but i found it while moving some other already broken rocks to reach new layers. I find it strange because while every other Omhden piece of rock is dark, this has a yellow/brown cover all over it surface, and instead of the 2D shape that almost every Omhden repert or layer has, it has strange 3D bubble shape.

it includes lots of belemnites and some shells. In the quarry at first sight i thought at some sort of coprolite but because i am a beginner it can easily be anything else.... 

if you need i can take better pictures at sunlight tomorrow... the piece is about 7*7*10cm

 

Thanks a lot for your interest

This does not at all look like something typical for Ohmden. It could very well be that it's from somewhere completely different and that someone dumped it there.

@Ludwigia that's the reason why it caught my attention and i decided to pick it up ahahah . The big quantity of belemnites inside and the shell look like the other ones inside the other flat dark layers of rocks of the quarry. Also don't think someone intentionally go to Omhden quarry to put a belemnites rock collected somewhere else, or at least i hope so... 

 

Thankss

If you are wanting to know where it comes from, then I'm sorry to say that I have absolutely no idea.
