Here are some coprolites that I thought I would share. I found these not far from where I found the gastroliths, (dino gizzard stones). I seem to find them all within an approximate of an acre. Was thinking that maybe it was a nursery area where more than one raised their young, being that there are different sizes of specimens. Like a rookery. Any input is welcome and thanks for viewing.

Some of these coprolites cut and polish to show nice color and interesting patterns. I bought a group of them in Tucson one year. I wish I'd saved this one:

Thanks Harry! That one that you posted look very interesting with the different colors, especially the red. If you want any of these give me a post.
