ricardo Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Coprolites? Collected near scales, teeth and fish vertebras. It sticks on tongue but aren't visible biological inclusions. Your opinion please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haravex Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 The first two look like coprolites to me never seen any that look like the 3rd example, but again that's just not me seeing one in person and can definitively say it is or isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 The lack of visible biological inclusions may reduce the possibility of fecal matter. Wait other opinions from experts in this domain.

Maybe we can get more pictures on a higher scale.

caldigger Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I have received several poop-poopie do's from the Oligocene White River Formation that don't readily show inclusions ( especially if they came from a grass eater ). I also have some from the Miocene Temblor Formation of marine poopers that don't show bits in them either. You'd probably be hard pressed to find many inclusions in the poops on those Green River fish plates too. At least to the naked eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all for your remarks . The pictures are large (click over them please) but you will not see any biological vestiges on it. If those are coprolites only in microscopic scale the biological vestiges are visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These certainly could be coprolites but feeling more confident would probably require seeing what. if anything, is inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
