Mctapmonkey Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 This is from Charmouth, Dorset, UK. OK, its obviously a Belemnite in there but the texture of the matrix made me wonder if this is coprolite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bone2stone Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I'm not sure that is a belemnite. Maybe not coprolite either. Has someone had an opportunity to hands on look see? Obviously not or you would not be asking about it being a coprolite. One with identifiable belemnite shell, well that would be something wouldn't it? Let's see what others have to say. Jess B.

Rockwood Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 A shot of the right hand side would help. I also doubt it is a belemnite though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I did, just this morning, see a photo of a gastrolite full of these that is though to perhaps be the cause of death for a hybodont shark. Belemnite for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 A belemnite guard for sure, but i don't think that's a coprolite, it looks like one of the slightly harder nodules from the marls to me. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Sorry, I'm not seeing coprolite either 1 Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
