Boneheadz Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Headed out for a trip to Bayfront Park on Wednesday with my GirlFriend to see if any megs would come our way. Although we didn't find any megs we did find some cool things. One of the pictures shows something I cant identify, its fossilized for sure but I can't tell what it is. Maybe coprolite? Also found a sweet Dolphin tooth and shark vert. Boneheadz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Could the mystery item be a fragment of a mammoth tooth? Going way out on a limb here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokiehunter Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Could the mystery item be a fragment of a mammoth tooth? Going way out on a limb here... Definitely not. Wrong formation. Looks like poop to me That or a piece of worn shell cast but my money is corprolite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boneheadz Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Thanks guys! Pretty sure now it's coprolite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I don't know... It's pretty rough for any coprolite I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I don't know... It's pretty rough for any coprolite I've ever seen. The lightened image seems to show some hyperostotic bony texture...
