Give Someone You Love The Gift Of Dinosaur Poo

By Frank Ellis


Everyone has been in that situation where you think you have everyone on your holiday list taken care of, then out of nowhere, you realize you have forgotten somebody. No matter what the situation, there are always times when it is hard to keep up with all the gift-giving that is expected of you. Just having one person on your list who is taken care of can be very nice, and if you know someone who is really into dinosaurs, you might seriously consider buying them some dinosaur poo to give them a gift that they'll love and keep for a long time.

You may hear paleontologists and other scientists refer to this type of poop as coprolite since that is the official scientific name for it, and it sounds a little more dignified than calling it what it actually is. It might be interesting to learn that this stuff gets its name from the Greek language, and is a combination of the words for dung and stone. If you are grossed out by the thought of handling this substance, it might be helpful to know that fossilized objects have been turned into stone, so you could think of it more like holding a poop-shaped rock rather than actual poop.

If you explore the droppings of animals who have been gone from this world for a long time, you can discover some pretty amazing things about them. This might be unexpected at first, but not when you think about what poop is really made of. If we can see in these droppings what the animals were eating, we can find out all kinds of things about how they lived and what roles they played in the food chain and ecosystem that we only have clues as to the qualities of.

People who are really into this sort of thing might even like to wear a coprolite necklace or a pair of coprolite earrings. These are beautiful fossils that can be a wonderful way to adorn yourself. This is especially perfect for the paleontologist in all of us.

If you want to see the best fossils, you might try a museum. There, they have not only the biggest but also the most interesting looking coprolites. The museum guides will be able to explain where the dung came from and how old it is.

If you want to find this kind of fossil, all you really have to do is check it out online. Most people don't have a local fossil shop to go to. Nowadays, all you have to do is run a quick search to find options from all over the world.

It is very important that you look into who you are buying from beforehand. Otherwise, you might find yourself getting scammed. It is also important to fully read the description of what you are buying to see if it specifies that it is a fossil or if it merely a gag gift.

You might be worried that this dino poop will take up the whole living room. Luckily, this is something that comes in all sizes. There is sure to be a fossil perfect for your shelf.
