Lynn Miller Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I found this rock in an outflow stream of the Coeur d'Alene River in Idaho. I believe it is fossilized scat. On the first size are bone shards of something the animal ate who deposited the (believed) scat. On the opposite side, I believe there are faint small animal foot prints. There are claw impressions, slightly oval in form, with deep claw like impressions. I could be wrong. Can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I don't think it is poop, but the pix are too out of focus to be able to see much. Can you reshoot it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Miller Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Is this image any better... for a non-professional? This photo is of the stone dry. The earlier pictures were the stone wet. You can see geometric depressions where bone fragment loosened from this rock.

jpc Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 That is a much better photo. I think it is mineral structures (crystals) you have, not bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I think that may be porphyry. An igneous (volcanic) rock. 1 Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
