Spinosaurus Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 i think it's just a stone, but i don't know a lot about these kind of fossils. so i will look what the rest will say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that there are fossils in it I also wanted to mention that I have a completely new position. And there are some specimens still unknown from this area. This is also just a piece of accident pulled out when breaking the rock.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I am not seeing a coprolite. Looks like a nodule to Me. Lets see what @GeschWhat and @Carl think about it.

Carl Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I;m also not entirely convinced. It could be but it lacks obvious details. And that pitting seems non-coprolitic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'm a maybe. It does resemble crocodilian coprolites I've seen from the southeast coast of the U.S. With out inclusions or a pinched end, it is hard to say.

abyssunder Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Can you post a sharp, clear images of the end views? It looks interesting.

sixgill pete Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I am in the maybe camp. It does in fact resemble some of the coprolites I find in Cretaceous deposits here in eastern North Carolina.

abyssunder Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I would like to compare the little 'things' on the surface with those from a belemnite, considering it can be from a marine environment, but not ruling out the coprolite possibility.

abyssunder Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I'm wondering if it can't be a weathered baculite.

Taogan Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The pyrite is starting to make me think it could be a coprolite, but I'm not convinced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeschWhat Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I am unable to zoom in to the photos because of the resolution. The black spots on your first magnified image look like lichens. Are they soft? If they are lichens, I often find these on coprolites. Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Or it may be something like a petrified wood.
