I will pack a MFRB full of high grade coprolite rough which usually amounts to at least 20 pounds. I'll also custom select the coprolite for either cutting rough or specimen purposes according to the wishes of the auction winner. I'll cover domestic shipping expenses and also cherry pick the material for best odds of something really special inside. Let's close this auction at midnight mountain standard time Saturday Dec. 10th. Payment can be made directly to Stonemon's fund and I'll send the box right after that. If you need to get an idea of what you would be bidding for you can check out forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/92117/coprolite?page=1Thank you for considering a good cause. Randy |

How often do you get to bid on poop for a good cause? (Probably more often that you’d think around here. 🤔)

I really appreciate everyone's participation in this auction. I have a special pile of coprolite rough where I've placed only the best material with the highest potential of museum grade specimens.
I will be pulling the auction winner's prize from this pile and there will be duds in the box but there is also bound to be something really special that will go in the MFRB.
The photo below is what I consider to be a museum grade specimen.

Nice way to sweeten the pot! The one in the photo above is on loan to a science department, but I'll select rough that has full potential to be as high of caliber as that one. Of course, coprolites are like a box of chocolates. You never know what will be inside till you cut it. |

Nothing like the hope for high quality poop to sweeten the pot.

Those are some nice box of chocolate specimens, however for some reason I don’t think I’ll ever be ok with licking those particular rocks.

It never fails to be funny (to me!)...when people are looking at my wraps, I'll hand them a Coprolite wrap and tell them to smell it. Once they do, I tell them what it is! LOL |
