Nineteenth-century coprolite hunter . . .
It was also Anning who noticed that the oddly shaped fossils then known as "bezoar stones" were sometimes found in the abdominal region of ichthyosaur skeletons. Anning noted that if such stones were broken open they often contained fossilised fish bones and scales, and sometimes bones from small ichthyosaurs. Anning suspected the stones were fossilised faeces and suggested so to Buckland in 1824. After further investigation and comparison with similar fossils found in other places, Buckland published that conclusion in 1829 and named them coprolites. In contrast to the finding of the plesiosaur skeletons a few years earlier, for which she was not credited, when Buckland presented his findings on coprolites to the Geological Society, he mentioned Anning by name and praised her skill and industry in helping to solve the mystery.

Ammonite - IMDB "1840s England, acclaimed but overlooked fossil hunter Mary Anning and a young woman sent to convalesce by the sea develop an intense relationship, altering both of their lives forever."

wow that will be a good movie (thumbs-up) I recall reading about that annie lady years ago incredibly detailed in her analysis The movie was kind of boring. The scenes on the beach were cool. It looks just like the fossil bearing coast around here. Some Ammonites from the high desert in Eastern Oregon.  A few Nautilus that I found on the Oregon Coast.   |

Yeah I might have jumped the gun on the good movie part Did some further research see they delve into Annie relationship Many rockers are not going to care much for a poor girl & her relationship in 19th century. Even if she is incredible rock hound Tell us about the rocks Leave hollwood drivel out So it’s not on my list to see I like artsy stuff- sort of Nada movie for a stone alone But I kind of like boring |

You're too easy on Jason. I was gonna rib him for a little while, lol.
Not picking on you, Jason, but I would always rather someone would correct me. Unless someone tells us, how would we know? No harm, no foul. This dude don't care what he is called.

Those are so awesome! Did you find them on the beach? I've found several ammonite pieces this last week and was pretty giddy when I found them! There's just something so fascinating to me about finding a "creature" that existed so long ago...and to be the first person to ever hold it their hands... |
