New Mexico Coprolite Identification
Coprolite is a realistic New Mexico fossil profile built around mineralized feces from vertebrates preserved in channel or marine deposits. In this state, success usually comes from learning badlands mudstones, petrified wood flats, and playa margins, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
