Glenys22 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Possible fossil coprolites in Fossil Janthina shell. New Zealand, Kaawa Formation, Opoitian, Pliocene. What was living in this Janthina that produced these faecal pellets? Hermit crab? other Crustacean? Are there any other similar fossils or living examples? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I absolutely agree that these are tiny coprollites. Unfortunately, many marine invertebrates make pellets of this shape so IDing them will likely be impossible. Excellent find! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
