Looks like Coprolite to me as well. Really well agatized too.

The exterior is smoother than the stuff I've seen from Utah but they may have eaten more roughage.

Thanks peoples. Was probably a no brainer, but wanted a second opinion as did Biggi. It is well agatized for sure. Not the most attractive, nothing spectacular. It is poop, after all.  Nice find baby! Schmooches on you!!!! Joe. |

Hey! Remember we were trying to identify my mystery rock (with the red streaks on it) and the final quorum was coprolite? I mentioned in that thread that it didn't look like the coprolite I was used to seeing? Well - THIS is what I'm used to seeing - looks exactly like the coprolites I'm used to! As a side note - has anyone ever found tiny dino bones inside one of those? That would be pretty awesome (well - for us, not the tiny dino that got eaten)  |

Joe.

Hey,
I hate for my first post to me a nay-sayer, but I don't think that is a coprolite.
It doesn't have the same structure as specimens I've seen, and the later image which shows the 'corn'
actually looks more like the cross-section of a shell, and if that's a shell, then that specimen can't be a coprolite.
It looks more like a chunk of agate rounded by erosion and bounced around than by the passage through a dinosaur gut.
I may be wrong, but that is my two cents worth.

Lowell,
I agree that it more closely resembles Agate or similar material. Doesn't look like any dino poop that I have seen.
