Whole Dinosaur Coprolite (Poop)

Coprolites are the completely fossilized remnant of ancientpoop and are one of the most interesting and thought-provoking rocks you couldever own.

Significant hydrothermal intrusions of metal-rich silica have made these poops One-Of-A-Kind. This means colors, crystals, banding, and quartz minerals galore!

Technically these are trace fossils because they aren\'tparts of a body, they are from a body. Footprints or tracks are also tracefossils, and one of the reasons coprolites are a genuinely valuable and sought-after collectable is that dinosaur footprints are frequently found ONthem - perfectly preserved in solid rock.

Dino poop tends to mineralize in a huge variety of colorsand textures. It often contains visible bits of bones, teeth, other interestingstones \"gastroliths\" - as well as colorful plant mattersimilar to petrified wood.

Large carnivore coprolites are known to containcomplete skeletons (a fossil-within-a-fossil).

Cutting colorful and silicified (agatized) coprolites is verypopular among rockhounds as well as rare gem and mineral dealers. Much likeregular agates and geodes, attractive and valuable minerals are waiting tobe discovered inside.

Some are desirable because ofwhat they reveal about the size, diet, behavior, and speculated range ofspecific types of dinosaurs and creatures that existed in a variety of climatesand environments long extinct.

Coprolites we sell are discovered rightalongside a variety of fossils ranging from ocean barnacles to large land roaming dinosaurs (sauropods). The geology is primarily sedimentary limestone, shale, sandstone and bentonite clay.
