Acquired unlabeled rocks that resemble something I'd find in a pasture or my neighbor's backyard. Is my wife correct? Do I really have too much shit in my office?

My amateur opinion, the 2 in the first pic look possible. Not sure exactly how you'd ensure a positive ID on dino poo.

You take a motor and put a blade meant for moving air on it. You turn it on and toss them at it. If everything goes chaotic, you know the shit hit the fan.

I would guess that your typical BLM guy DOES need more fiber.

All that aside, no. Just because something has the shape doesn't make it the thing. Not Shinola either.

My guess would be t-eggs for a lot of them too. Common misidentification. I was even asked to look at some in a museum one time and they were definitely multi-egg clusters of Oregon t-eggs ...Mel

You take a motor and put a blade meant for moving air on it. You turn it on and toss them at it. If everything goes chaotic, you know the shit hit the fan. 1Mark K , this is a childish and sophomoric answer to this question. The true scientific way to test this is to put it in a bag, set it on your neighbor's porch, set it on fire and ring the doorbell. If hilarity ensues, then you know it's dinosaur poo. If not, just a rock. Shame on you, Mark K! ;-) You could also try stepping on it, and if it sticks all over the bottom of your shoe, definitely poo. Lastly, did you smell it? OK, I think I'm done, sorry for acting like a 12-year-old. Alright, maybe one more... if you posted some wet pics, we would be able to better judge how it looked pre-fossilization.
I think that's all I've got... for now... =)
