Coprolite, meaning “Dung Stone”, is fossilised faeces poo. Dinosaurs were no different to animals of today in the fact that their bodies had to dispose of unwanted waste that had been created from eating food! Though unfortunately for these Dinosaurs there were no willing owners that were prepared to follow them around & clean up the mess. But that’s good news for us, as these fossilised remains serve an extremely valuable purpose in paleontology, as they provide direct evidence of whether the Dinosaur was a plant eating herbivore or a meat-eating carnivore. Coprolites can range in size from a few millimetres to well over 50cm and are surprisingly colourful and completely odourless.
ACTUAL AS SEEN: The image shows the EXACT specimen you will receive. The specimen has been carefully hand selected and photographed. Measurements are as accurate as possible, though be aware measuring precise dimensions can be difficult from irregular shaped items. Whilst we portray colours as close to life-like as we can, colours will vary if taken in sunlight, indoors, from monitor to monitor and device to device. Once this specimen is sold, we will update this listing with new similar selected item, with a new photo and dimensions.
