Hi all,
A colleague of mine has come across a number of interesting pieces of
ceramic that he suspects were used by domestic fowl as
gastroliths/gizzard stones. Has anyone else encountered these or come
across a publication identifying and describing these? Everything I've
seen only deals with typical stone versions, not ceramics.
I've uploaded a photo of a few examples on Zoobook:

Thanks,
Peter
