Re: paleonet Looking for a clay mineralogist sedimentologist

[Judith Harris <harrisj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Xavier,

I am interested in your coprolite project. What are you doing? From  
what sites/ages do your coprolites come? Do you know what animals  
made them? Are there any fossilized food items or are they all  
mineral? Have you published anything on them?

Sorry, I don't know any clay mineralogists. Just get somebody to run  
some XRF tests on them. Then you will at least know what mineral(s)  
you are dealing with.

Thanks,

Judith
