Everything Great About Dinosaur Poo

By Frank Ellis


This is something that many people would love to have as a stocking stuffer or for their next birthday. Dinosaur poo might sound like an odd gift to give, but it makes a lot of sense when you think about those people who are really into dinosaurs. If there is a physical object that you can hold in your hands that actually came from one of these famous creatures, it can be an amazing experience for anyone who has been dreaming about them their whole life.

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.

It might not be obvious at first, but these fossils can reveal quite a bit about how dinosaurs behaved and can help us fill in the gaps where archaeology, paleontology, and other studies of the prehistoric world haven't been able to figure out exactly what happened. When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense that these fossils are so helpful because they are the waste of what the dinosaurs were eating. Therefore, we can find out what they were eating, and this can tell us a lot about how they lived.

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.

Many people choose to take a trip to the museum in order to see this type of thing. This is where you will find the biggest and best of the specimens. You will also have the benefit of having someone knowledgeable and enthusiastic there to explain the answers to any questions you might have.

You can find this stuff all over the internet. Buying online gives you the advantage of choosing from a massive selection. That way, you can get what you want and not have to settle.

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.

The great thing about this is it comes in many different sizes. This can help give you an idea of the size of some of the dinos. It is nice that you can just have a small piece of poo instead of a massive one that takes up your whole display cabinet.
