Coprolite?

[RogerN]

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've always had a lay interest in paleontology and geology. Last week while playing golf in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, I spotted this unusual lump in the rock landscape around one of the tee boxes. My first impression was coprolite with a chunk of undigested something jutting out, I circled it in red.  I assume it was delivered with tons of rock from a Texas quarry and I have found other fossils in rock landscapes on a couple courses I play. I'd appreciate some more educated opinions. Thanks.

Welcome to TFF!

Sorry, but it is not a coprolite. It is not a fossil but is an iron concentration.

Thanks for the welcome and information. I'm guessing it is worthless as a collectible.

Maybe in monetary value. I have many many things in my house that have no monetary value but are immensely precious to me

i think your concretion is cool.

It is probably a concretion with iron content. It looks close to the one below.

Thanks again, maybe I'll toss it a box and keep it around.
