Strepsodus Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hi. I found this in South Yorkshire, UK in the Pennine Middle Coal Measures formation (Upper Carboniferous.) Is it a Coprolite? Thanks, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 It looks like a piece of chert or flint. Much better pictures would be in order here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strepsodus Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hi. Thanks for the replies. I'll take some better pictures later. It is preserved in a concretion rather than Flint or Chert. In the same concretions I found a lot of plant fossils. Thanks, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieira Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Don't looks like a cropolite to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strepsodus Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hi. Here are some more pictures which are hopefully a bit better. The second one compares it to a coprolite from Mazon creek. Thanks, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 It could be a coprolite but it just doesn't exhibit clear-cut details. I tentatively vote no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
