sharkdoctor Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 A few highlights from a quick trip to an eastern Virginia stream with @Gizmo. Found loads of coprolites. The shark coprolite in the upper left has peculiar pitting on the surface. The shark coprolite in the bottom right shows potential striations from the spiral working of the gut, pitting and the inner coil of the spiral. The large central coprolite doesn't look to be from a shark, does show some striations from possible gut lining or gut movement/emptying and lumpy little inclusions. The two larger teeth are from the boundary of the Eastover and Calvert Formations. The remainder of the fossils are likely from the Newport News Beds (Popes Creek Sands equivalent). 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
