Coprolites Happen!
Very interesting piece. Somebody will have to have it. Perhaps it could
be put behind a dinosaur for display purposes.

I hate it. Almost 100% made of glue is my guess. There’s no natural way
to make it look like a turf squeezed out of a tube.

I saw that too Paul. I think I saw it once before a while back,
being offered. I have never seen this shaping before either. Very
unusual, but I would guess it must be terrestrial weathering
influenced by some sort of internal structure...e.g. perhaps melt. I
took the phrase "modern burnishing" to be that it had been cleaned
in some way to remove caliche....but a vague description.

Want everyone's opinion / on this highly unusual morphology.
I don't doubt it is a real meteorite at all just that one side
looks altered
or is HUGELY UNIQUE
Christies is currently selling it and gives a cryptic
explanation for its
shape as "Modern burnishing"
What the hell does that mean exactly?????
they also mention it could be naturally ventifacted.???????????
Either way I have never seen anything quite like it in the
meteorite world.
Anyone else have an explanation ... please chime in on this.
