    • Product: Coprolite fossil dinosaur poop

    • Common name: Dino poo

    • Material classification: Fossil

    • Display: Black floating display frame with matching stand

    • Approximate display dimensions: 7 × 7 cm

    • Specimen size and weight: Vary naturally between pieces

  • Coprolite is fossilised faecal material. Under suitable conditions, material can be buried and preserved through geological processes, sometimes retaining features that provide clues about ancient animals, their diets and the environments they inhabited.

    Coprolites are studied by palaeontologists as trace fossils. Depending on the specimen and the evidence available, they can contribute to our understanding of prehistoric food webs and ancient ecosystems.

  • Fossils aren't limited to bones, teeth and shells. Trace fossils preserve evidence of ancient life and behaviour, including tracks, burrows and coprolites.

    That makes this specimen an unusual little piece of natural history: a reminder that palaeontology investigates how ancient organisms lived, not just what their skeletons looked like.
