Small Dinosaur Coprolite Fossil (Fossilized Poo) – Unique Collectible

Description SIZE (Picture scale cube=1cm): 30-40mm (Range) All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity! Type: Dinosaur Coprolite (Fossil Poo) Age: Morrison Formation, Jurassic Period Location Found: Colorado, USA Coprolite, meaning “Dung Stone”, is fossilised faeces (poo). Dinosaurs were no different to us today, in the fact that their bodies had to dispose of unwanted waste that had been created from eating food, just like us! Though, unfortunately for the dinosaurs, there were no ‘toilets’ available that they could use to flush away the evidence!! But that’s good news for us, as these fossilised remains serve an extremely valuable purpose in palaeontology, as they provide direct evidence of whether it was a plant eating herbivore or a meat-eating carnivore. Coprolites range in size from a few millimetres to well over 50 centimetres, and can be surprisingly colourful and completely odourless!
