Give Someone You Love The Gift Of 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.

Some people have heard the term coprolite but might have no idea what it means. It might be surprising to hear that this is actually the scientific word for fossilized dung. The name comes from the Greek words for stone and dung combined, so it makes a lot of sense when you think about it.

If you think that this is just a novelty gift and a rather odd thing for scientists to pay much attention to, you might consider more thoroughly what droppings are made of. Being the waste products of what the animals ate, this can show us so much about how they lived and interacted with the plants and other animals around them. There are so many mysteries left about the world of the dinosaurs, so that's why many people are quite interested in this type of fossil.

Wearing jewelry made out of the dung of prehistoric animals might not sound like the classiest thing in the world. However, there are plenty of people who love to adorn themselves with these types of fossils. You can find all kinds of earrings and necklaces to show off your paleontological enthusiasm.

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.

This is a great thing to shop for online because you can find the best options out there that are perfect for what you're looking for. There are plenty of coprolites for sale, but it definitely takes some searching to hunt it down. If you just shop around locally, depending on where you live, people are not likely to even have a clue what you are talking about.

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.

One of the nice things about this kind of thing is, just like the droppings from any animal, it comes in all shapes and sizes. You can get a big coprolite if you have plenty of room to display it. Smaller specimens are also available for those who just want a small addition to their shelf.
