RileyB Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Found this piece from Calvert Cliffs state park in Maryland. Has a swirling pattern around it similar to poop. Could it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automech Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 If I remember right, it's one of the two forms found along the Calvert beaches. The tic-tac shape and that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 It looks like chondrichthyan poop to me. @Carl might have an opinion on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) I think it has a good chance of being a coprolite but better photos are needed. Can you shoot this much sharper and in good light? Edited May 15, 2023 by Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RileyB Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 Are these pictures good @Carl? Having a hard time getting really clear pictures with my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Much better - thanks for that. I think coprolite is still a very strong possibility but it's not a perfect match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
