This type of coprolite is \u003cstrong\u003ebelieved to be rhino scat\u003c\/strong\u003e, though it is \u003cstrong\u003enearly impossible to know for certain\u003c\/strong\u003e at this time. It was a smaller fossil deposit that came to the surface, and a few specimens were collected before the deposit was worked out. So far this coprolite has been \u003cstrong\u003ewell silicated\u003c\/strong\u003e and pretty similar to \u003cstrong\u003eUtah Coprolite\u003c\/strong\u003e in working characteristics. It is typically a \u003cstrong\u003ecaramel color\u003c\/strong\u003e, cuts nicely, and takes a decent polish. As with all coprolite, there is a chance these could be some form of \u003cstrong\u003eenhydros\u003c\/strong\u003e instead, though given they were found in a small fossil-bearing formation, coprolite is far more likely. Either way, they are pretty neat specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom a \u003cstrong\u003ebrand new 2021 discovery\u003c\/strong\u003e that produced limited specimens before being worked out.
