Darktooth Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Nice finds! I especially like the shark coprolite and verts. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcoSr Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Shark coprolite? Enchodus fish jaw fragments, mosasaur tooth and jaw fragment That would be a very interesting coprolite. The spiral pattern is very uniform and tight. I'm used to seeing the pattern not as uniform or as tight. Both sharks with a spiral valve and a number of genus of fish can produce coprolites with the spiral pattern. Here are a couple of coprolites with a loose pattern: This one has a tighter pattern and is more uniform but still not as tight and uniform as yours.

John S. Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Thanks a lot guys. I was thinking coprolite because it looks so similar to the one in the North Sulphur book.

fossiladdict Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yes, it is coprolite. I have several that look very similar. They are pretty cool if you ask me. 1 Fossils are simply one of the coolest things on earth--discovering them is just marvelous! Makes you all giddy inside!

John S. Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Thanks I like them too. I don't find them too often but the variety is neat. North Central Texas Eagle Ford Group / Ozan Formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptychodus04 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I'd go with shark for the coprolite ID as well.

Carl Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Warning: Here I come again with some pedantry. Although a shark is of course the most likely candidate for the GORGEOUS coprolite, spiral coprolites are expected for ANY non-teleost fishes: sharks, rays, sawfishes, chimaeras, amiids, sturgeons, paddlefish, coelacanths, lungfish, and gars.

What Carl said! What a beautiful coprolite! No & So Sulphur Rivers seem to have the most pristine spirals.
