Hi all, 

 

This was picked up along Lake Michigan in Wisconsin US.
 

was close to developed area so rock may have been brought in from another location for erosion prevention. 
 

thanks in advance!

Most of the cobbles around lake Michigan tend to be either derived from Paleozoic carbonates or else are precambrian, neither of which are known for their coprolites.

 

Likely brought in by glaciers.
