Kimi64 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Hi everyone. I went to Calvert Cliffs last week & found an interesting piece of bone. I have dozens of bone fragments from the Bay, but almost all of them are linear. This one is much more rounded. It is slightly bigger than a quarter. It might be too small to identify, but I thought it was worth sharing. It doesn't look turtle-y to me, but I guess that is a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 looks like a coprolite to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Plax, Thanks, I had not considered that as a possibility as the only coprolite I have ever found before in the bay tend to be much smaller than this one. But now that you say that, it isn't as dense or heavy as most bone would be, so I think you might be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) this was a guess. Make sure it's not a modern seed if it's not dense and heavy. Edited September 14, 2021 by Plax additional information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
