UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

I found some pieces that look like dropings, I will post pictures. Could it be possible? Has anyone ever find anything like this?

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

Where is the picture?

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

I'll post the pictures, there wer 3 of them I found within inches of each other, can't find the third one, still looking in my boxes of rocks. I also found a 6" long whitish brown specimen, looks like molar indentions of some kind, I'll post the Pictue as well.

They look like droppings

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

For whatever it's worth, heres my scoop on thu poop! What you have is either Limeonite, or hematite. Either is made of Iron ore. If these were fossilized droppings (Copralites), they would be from dinosaurs, and obviously (from ones I've seen) be much larger! Some folks even think these are meteorites....Not!

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

No ****...wow

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

I agree that its hematite. I find a bunch of them south of Ozona

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

Looked up hematite, limeonite and corpalites, and neither one looks anything like it. Who can I send them to have them anaylized?

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

The closest place I know to take them would be in San Antonio at the Whitte Museum if your there sometime.

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

Here's a professional opinion without the trip to San A.
1. back to front pg. click DEALERS & LINKS
2. click METEORITES PLUS
3. scroll down front page to CATAGORY OF YOUR
CHOICE. Click ROCKS COMMONLY MISTAKEN FOR

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

I've found similiar pieces like this and the ones I found are droppings.They belonged to a prehistoric alligator.We found bones and teeth also at the same place and found a lot so we assume this was a prehistoric den.I'm not sure if the ones you have are droppings but one way to tell is to put it to your tounge.If it sticks to your tounge then it is probably a dropping.It has the same shape of the ones we found.This works with anything that was alive and then mineralized.Bones,teeth and droppings etc.Try this and let me know if this works.

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

That sounds like a Russian Roulette taste test.But if it works.

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

I'll take my chances with a proffessional. But thanks for the advise anyway.

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

You guys can make fun but it's the real deal. I got that advice from a pro and it has proven itself over and over.

Re: UPO "Unidentified Petrified Object"

Gee, I wonder if the guy has alot of bad breath! My pups do this all the time!
