Weird Coprolite ID

[jnicholes]

So, I was going through my fossils from my last trip to Kemmerer Wyoming. One of them accidentally split, revealing this.

 

It looks like a kind of Coprolite, but I’m not sure. It’s got scales in it, but it’s too flat to be regular Coprolite.

 

I suspect it is stingray Coprolite, as the people there told us to watch out for it, because they have been finding a lot.

 

Can someone help me ID this?

Perhaps regurgitate ? Fish equivalent of horking up a hair ball.

It’s possible. Not entirely sure, though. The first thing my brother said when he saw it, was “owl pellet.“

 

It’s definitely not that, though. But still interesting.

Could also just be some disarticulated scales, but I like the regurgitant theory.

You know what? I think I’ll agree with you guys on this one. Probably a fish regurgitant.

 

Thanks,
