Yep, looks like Coprolite to me also. A dealer handed some to my wife and then told her what it was. She dropped it and said “EWWWW!”

When playing rocks, paper, scissors...I always choose rocks!

My thought as well. Coprolite.

El JeffA are you at Q yet?

No. My wife and I have been doing the alternate years for Quartzite and Tucson shows for the last few years. We were at Q last year and had a great time! We have stayed in Blythe, CA both times and enjoy the drive to and from Quartzsite. Thanks Tony catmandewe and Chris for the BBQ on Friday night for RTHers. We definitely enjoyed meeting a few members. drocknut , zarguy , melhill1659 , etc.

This year, we arrive in Tucson on January 30 and stay till February 7th. There is a lot to see in 8 days! We hope to see everyone in Quartzite in 2021.
