Here's a specimen that has the experts, I have talked to, baffled.
I found it in a fossilized alluvial deposit in the Woodbine of Tarrent co.
As you can see it is not very big but the shape and composition of the material is definitely a fossil something.
I was told by Lewis Jacobs that I could call it anything I wanted to.
So I dubbed it:
Pseudo Unicornious
It obviously does have it's origin in the mid cretaceous, found in the Woodbine, but as to what it came from will remain a mystery.
I will not release for study to anyone. Because the Last time I released a specimen to SMU for them for study they sliced it into wafer thin parts and I could not get it back!!!!!!!!!! It was distributed to several labs for observation.
If anyone has any ideas just put it up for all to see. Any and all conceptions will be taken into consideration.

Well, enough as for as ancient history here's the "Thing" Pseudo Unicornious.

It looks like it came from the other end of any Unicorn I ever heard about.

The item you are holding is fossilized dinosaur dung.

Not hardly I have some Dino DUNG and it don't look like this.
I'm no sh*t expert but I do have several specimens of the real stuff fossilized.
Oh and I have stepped in some fresher stuff, some just recently.
The structure of the specimen is much too complex to be droppings.

It's dinosaur dung. Really. The experts won't need to cut it up to tell you that. The shape can be down to a lot of factors, not any of which are related to Unicorns. To be honest, it looks like ancient turtle dung.

I vote for it being the top of a petrified soft-serve ice cream cone.    Grin

This from an expert on POOP?

Well, I can tell you that I know a lot of the top people who are true paleontologists and they are telling me that the most likely is a cast of an insect burrow from a petrified tree. But even they say that they are only speculating.
They wanted to take it and I told them no.
It is not petrified dung!!!!!!
No, it is not Unicorn thus the title "Pseudo".

I will attempt to show the inner structure of the specimen where it was broken off of the original specimen.
I have been into this collecting for over 40 years and I have petrified droppings. Shark, Dino, mosasaur, crocodile, I even have gizzard stones that the dino's pooped out and some that was inside the creature when they died.
