A coprolite is fossilized animal dung. I had to find a photo for this one, since that seems to be the latest trend for word definitions. The below is a photograph of dinosaur coprolite stolen shamelessly from wikipedia. Somehow they even determined that the dinosaur was carnivorous.
Good grief--who goes around testing random fossel clods in hopes of finding dinosaur poop?
ReplyDeleteHahaha, sorry about the photo-with-word trend! It does kind of defeat the purpose, doesn't it?
well, apparently not all that appears to be is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pseudocoprolite.jpg
