himmelangst Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I unfortunately have no location on this road pie as it came in an auction lot. Is it coprolite? And if so is there any indication as to what animal might have excreted it? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Welcome to the Forum. I'm getting an ironstone concretion vibe to this item, unfortunately. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

minnbuckeye Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 @GeschWhat is our expert on such a topic. This notice should alert her to your question. But don't get your hopes up that this is a coprolite. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Sorry, but I'm not seeing #2. Probably the most important information needed to identify coprolites is the location in which it was found. Coprolites from some locations can be identified without this. Unfortunately, this is not one of them. Like the others, I see nothing that would lead me to believe this had fecal origins.
