Coprolites are the fossilized feces of animals that lived millions of years ago. These are trace fossils which means that they are not fossils of the animal’s actual body, but of something that came from the animals body.
Coprolites are like time capsules and provide an unparalleled insight into the past. That’s because many coprolites contain inclusions, or tiny fossilized fragments of the food or material that the animal ate.
Very cool gift idea for the dinosaur lover in your life!
