That one is unusual. If you hadn't posted it, I would have to wonder.

Yes, it is atypical of what I usually find. I find myself occasionally second guessing myself on identification and can usually sort it out after some study.

One thing that helps is the immediate areas where I find these do not have many other rock species to confuse me and it's fairly easy to differentiate between them.

If we were able to carry the love and tolerance shown here into the world as a whole and get anyone to follow the example set, who knows what could be born from that?

My opinion is this is the remains of a dung beetle bore hole, probably filled with beetle dung.

If dung beetle dung is petrified, too, then is it coprolite^{2 ?}

Yes, indeed. A coprolite within a coprolite.
