bthemoose Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Hi all, I recently found the items below at Calvert Cliffs State Park (A-F) and Matoaka Beach (G-I) in Maryland (both Miocene exposures). Image scales are in inches. I'm not sure what these are. Could some or all of them be coprolites? If so, any ideas as to what kinds of animals they came from? Thanks for your help!

bthemoose Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Wow, thanks, I had no idea there was such a thing. Here are a couple of good TFF threads I found on tilly bones for anyone else who wants to learn more: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I used to be amazed that so many fish seem to swim around and live for some time with bones that look like this. Lately I've realized that if a teleost ever evolves to study the fossils of my bones it might wonder how this creature still walked around.
