Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.

I was thinking the same thing Dave but I also see some mashed taters, gravy and stuffing in that coprolite. Only thing
missing is a cranberry gastrolith or two.

Now all we need is for somebody who collects fossilized vomit to make a thread about it!

haha, for me it would be mincemeat pie. I got sick on it as a kid and would spew it again in an instant. It deserves to be petrified.

It's really amazing how many tools are available to scientists to tease out information from old turds. Sophisticated chemistry, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, electron microscopy, energy - dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and other techniques take turd study to a level I never dreamed of.

Dang Randy - You really know your sh!t!

That one was in a bag with this one - which was marked Utah. I'm blown away that you could tell where it came from by sight!!!

Another awesome stool sample you have there! It also is a classic Utah specimen for sure. It has that smell.
