fascinating- your posts never cease to amaze me (keep them coming!) Is it possible to ID the critter that set of jaws and teeth came from? Makes me think of some of the game fish from around here. Bone from the skull in that last photo above, too? Am I seeing right? sort of sinus cavity there...?
way too cool!

Cool inclusions in coprolite pics, bhiatt! The jaw in the coprolite is boggling my mind. Fascinating. |

Aquatic animal pooh in solid form is rare enough. To then find them fossilized must be extraordinary. I'm saying land animal that may have eaten fish. Is it possible all the little bones in there are osteodrms, bony scales?

Is it possible all the little bones in there are osteodrms, bony scales? I have no clue on the bones. You could be right. I have a few nice coprolite specimens from Utah, which are quite a bit bigger, but none with bones in them. The little research I have done on bones in coprolite, I have only seen fish in them. |
