Found a rock

As much as I like the idea of it being something cool like a meteorite or dino poop, I suspect @Horn is closer to the real truth. That close the river bank I suspect it is some really old (possibly 100+ or so years) industrial slag from something. From the picture it looks a lot to me like it was poured there.

Way to deflate a guys dream. Guess I better not quit my job just yet to sell sasquatch hunts yet. Thanks @Horn

Meet Barnum. That's right, they named this hunk of poop. It's from a T-Rex and recognized as largest by Guiness WRs.

Apparently, most fossilized poo is from carnivores as herbivore scat breaks apart and decomposes too easily.

Still, it'd be sad to rule it out as BTaylor's king of poops (and coffee table).

I always thought Prehistoric Forest could be a money maker again. Stegosaurus hunts and coprolite!! Just think of the components you could sell for triceratop arrows! Ole Troy would be Texas size jealous :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy: :tearsofjoy:

I have hunted in these bottoms my whole life and have never seen a rock other than riprap on the banks in places. I studied on this for bit and well, I don’t have a freakin clue what it is or how it got there. Anybody ever seen a meteor?? Lol.

Could it be an organic growth? Like a large fungus like coral that gets hard??

The question isn’t what it is… but what is it covering? I bet there is something cool under it. If I was a caveman or native from thousands of years ago and wanted to hide something really cool… I would put it under that big old rock that looks like poo… If I was you, I would start digging. Might find something even better, maybe a little more shinny

I dont know how many miles I have walked in those river bottoms but Dad started taking me when I was 3. Other than riprap on the banks I have seen a grand total of 1 rock, that one. It is entirely abnormal and out of place.

So how do you plan to hunt this rock this season? Spot and stalk? Wait for the right wind and set up as it transitions from bedding to feed or back? We need more info!
Prolly start by watching a bunch of Lusk videos for the best broadhead for rock penetration. I understand he is THE expert in that area. It appeared to have a very small core area, not much evidence of moving much in daylight or any other time. Knowing that, it will prolly be a a straight stalk since I already spotted it in its bed. Just slip in there and whack the hail out of it.

It looks like those bags of asphalt had been poured out there.

Have your tried some rock scrapes? Make one and sprinkle some salt in it near by, and pee in it. Get that rock to come to you. Make him think your a rock as well.
