TRexEliot Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Found this yesterday at Big Brook in New Jersey. Trying to figure out if it's just a rock with an interesting texture or a fossil. About 1×0.5×0.5 cm Edited June 7, 2021 by TRexEliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Not seeing any kind of inclusions that would make me think coprolite. Looks like a chert pebble. 1 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Rockwood Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I'm afraid it's not twisted enough to be a shark poop either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I generally agree with what's been said here but still feel somewhat unsure. 2 : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankh8147 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Actually, a few of us members were recently discussing pieces like this - it COULD be a reptile coprolite (I donated a piece that looked similar). @Carl @non-remanié Edited June 8, 2021 by frankh8147 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankh8147 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I'm having trouble loading the thread here but if you search my thread on February 9, 2020 under 'Coprolite Faker?? New Jersey', it's a decent comparison to this one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, someone fixed it for me and applied the link! I have to admit, all of my personal advancements in technology (including photography) have come from posting on this website and working with other Paleontologists! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
