It looks like a limb section broke apart. It sure does. I also wonder if it could be the remnants of two side by side to each other? As soon as I saw this, it looked to me like the top two sections and the two sections on the right were a piece of wood "quartered"...like you're splitting a log. I see those four pieces fitting together perfectly for a complete "circle-ish"...  |

I had that thought also and I wonder if during the chewing process the wood got split like a little block of firewood. I can easily imagine that peg-like teeth could split a limb from a sideways bite. |

One of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite Westerns! LOL "How's it for stains?"  |

I see those four pieces fitting together perfectly for a complete "circle-ish"... I think if you made new cuts through the branches and perpendicular to the first cut surface you would be able to determine whether you are looking a cross section of a branch/stick or at a feature of agatization that occurred long after the turd was entombed in the mud/silt that would eventually be its matrix. |

Nice! What causes the layering on the right sides of the second photo?
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks, Chris I'm not sure but I think it's either a cross section of a plant stem or branch, or perhaps it's the cross section of a woody fungus that grew onto the turd like the way some tough fungi grow on tree trunks. Another idea is the coprolite is expelled in a blob of layered material. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has other ideas. |

RWA3006 I was at Stuckey's today and saw something that made me think of you. I had to get it. I hope you get a giggle. |
