Haderly Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Agatized barite. Some people say dino poopVery good…apparently I should have posted it here and saved some frustration. I was also told repeatedly that it was coprolite or dino bone but knew those were wrong. I have seen plenty of both and none has looked even close to this. I had gotten it at an estate sale and it was already cut and polished. If the exterior had not been ground it would have been easier to identify. Do you know of a source to get more that is not all fractured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
