Coprolite? Botryoidal?

Is this Coprolite, Botryoidal or something else? My first initial guess was Coprolite but endless google searches have me second guessing. Found all three in the river bed on North Sulphur River.

The NSR is known both for its coprolites and it’s iron concretions. I would guess iron concretion but perhaps a local or one of our resident Coprolite enthusiasts could weigh in.

Really nice ones. :)
I usually call them "crocodile skin" concretions.
