This split siderite concretion (nodule) contains a cylindrical-shaped coprolite that probably came from a fish. It is hard to tell if this is a scroll coprolite or not. William Buckland used coprolites in siderite nodules to create his coprolite table! Fish scale inclusions can be seen under magnification.
