Something is definitely fishy about this coprolite! It contains fish bones, scales and what looks like a section of skull or palate.
The University of Minnesota's X-ray CT Lab was kind enough to perform a CT scan of this coprolite. It revealed that most of the inclusions were fish scales. Although some bone inclusions and a tooth could also be seen.
