(DF835-3) 3 Oz Fossil Real Dinosaur Poop and similar items

(internal #DF835-3), Genuine petrified DINOSAUR dung, doo doo, poo, scat, waste (called "coprolite" in polite fossil circles), natural specimen, (as some are from pieces or chunks) with gray white tan color; weights between 3 to 4 ounces. YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS EXACT SPECIMEN. YOU CAN SPRAY WITH POLYURETHANE TO PERMANENTLY HIGHLIGHT THE INCREDIBLE COLORS TEXTURES. THESE ARE GEM QUALITY SPECIMENS, SUITABLE FOR CUTTING INTO JEWELRY OR CARVINGS. Specimen has plenty of texture, shape color. I assure you, the smell is long gone, now replaced by stone, just like petrified wood is changed when it fossilizes but keeps its original shape. Excavated from the Jurassic Brushy Basin area of the Morrison Formation in Emory County, Utah, whch covers 600,000 square miles. It is the most fertile source of dinosaur fossils in North America. Specimen dates to the Jurassic era, 155-148 million years ago. It takes just the right weather geologic conditions for soft scat to be preserved, sediment could cover it quickly enough or changes in the geology of the area could cover it, then over millions of years the poop is replaced by the minerals in the soil around it such as iron, manganese or carbon that changes it to a gem stone yet it keeps its original shape. Bits of vegetation (leaves, seeds, roots or bark) found in similar coprolite specimens would indicate an herbivore dinosaur created it, or remains of bones, claws or teeth would indicate a carnivore created this coprolite. Dung beetles or dung beetle tracks found in some coprolite also indicates what it is, though each specimen has not been examined to determine if it contains visible vegetation, animal parts or evidence of dung beetles. Each specimen is genuine coprolite and comes with an information card. Coprolite is of great interest to scientists/paleontologist, as it helps them understand what ancient dinosaurs ate and how well they digested their food.Great "gag" gift or teaching tool for teachers in history class! The gemstone material that replaces the dung over the millions of years makes these specimens attractive to be sliced and made into jewelry, or show it off as a paperweight or display specimen.
