I have been wondering what causes the lightning effect on some coprolite. Am guessing it is due to the original shape of the pile and the ability for replacement of other materials during the petrification process. Posted a photo of a piece Randy sent me on another web page. Was told I was mistaken. It was not coprolite, but several other possibilities. Thunderegg was listed as one. Septarian as another. Jasper was a third. Was also informed that coprolite was extremely rare. That most rocks attributed as being coprolite are actually something else. This is being done by crooked sellers. Was also told that some of the areas that were "known" for having coprolite, have been proven to just be beds of T-eggs. I just replied that the piece was collected by a coprolite expert in an area known for having them. The nay sayer backed off. I love this thread and everything I am learning from it. www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/environment-health-history-quirky-science/joe-schwarcz-englands-coprolite-rush-had-big-effect-world

Cut last night, not from Randy Magnificent! From my experience I only get one that good once every 3-400 specimens. The green especially sets this one apart.

Here's an interesting coprolite piece that had flakes struck off it by Amerindians.
