Coprolite Fossil

Here is a well-preserved specimen of coprolite, or fossilized animal dung, which provides fascinating insights into ancient ecosystems. Coprolites are considered trace fossils, as they capture evidence of an animal’s behavior rather than its physical form. Trace fossils like coprolites hold scientific significance for paleontologists, as they can reveal clues about the animal’s diet, digestive processes, and the environmental conditions of the time. For fossil enthusiasts, this is a unique and informative addition to any collection. No, it doesn't smell.
