Jazfossilator Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Found at Myrtle Beach, SC, where Cretaceous, Pliocene, and Pleistocene aged material can be found. This is an old find that I had written off as a clam steinkern piece or something of the sort, but now looking at it the line patterning is pretty different than anything I’ve seen. Any ideas appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In shape it is similar, but I don’t see any signs of the patterning, and I would think any patterning would be worn away were that the case. I won’t count it out though of course, thank you! 8 minutes ago, Tidgy's Dad said: Hmmm. Coprolite with feeding traces? The traces seem almost too uniform, but If so that would be another first, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that could be a winner, I see some examples with the intricate lines. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
