Unfortunately, identifying the specific taxa that produced them is not possible, but their association with various fossils from acanthodian, actinopterygian, sarcopterygian, and rhipidistian (crossopterygian) fish suggests that any of these are potential sources of the coprolites and nonspiraled cololites.
