fossiladdict Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Found these at the Sulphur river- are the two long ones coprolite or seed pods or? I think they are coprolite. Fossils are simply one of the coolest things on earth--discovering them is just marvelous! Makes you all giddy inside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 They certainly have "the look".

CreekCrawler Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I may be way off base here, but doesn't the item in the lower left resemble a Globidens tooth. Is that enamel covering the piece ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I may be way off base here, but doesn't the item in the lower left resemble a Globidens tooth. Is that enamel covering the piece ?? i certainly see what you're seeing, but the pic needs to be a bit sharper for me to feel definite about it. but yes it resembles a broken top of a globidens tooth to me.

dinodigger Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 The top one is a shark coprolite. The one on the right is a coprolite as well, but not shark, not sure who. Bottom one is blurry; not a vert is it? Split? Found these at the Sulphur river- are the two long ones coprolite or seed pods or? I think they are coprolite.

fossiladdict Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 The "tooth" looking one looks more like a walnut to me . When I get home tonight I will get it out and take a better picture. Fossils are simply one of the coolest things on earth--discovering them is just marvelous! Makes you all giddy inside!

barefootgirl Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Could also be a piece of solitary coral perhaps.
