Wonder how much it would fetch on ebay with a Dave Barry signature on it?

i guess i'm just weird, but i'm finding it awfully difficult to get excited about fossil feces from a carnivorous dinosaur.

See? This is why I save all my best poos and bury them in the yard. So that the scientists of tomorrow can dig them up.
And people call me weird.
I guess I could put some pants on before heading out with the shovel.

At least Dave waited until his 3rd post of the day before getting totally gross!
Dave, there should have been a warning!
EEEEWWWWW!

Cropolite???...that's funny!!
Posted by: julietine | March 31, 2005 at 07:13 AM
One of my roommates in college had an odd fascination with his excrement. He could talk for an hour about length, girth, texture, etc. Let's just say I'm sure the folks over at Polaroid never intended their product to be used for his fecal documentation. Now I see he has landed a cushy job finding and working with coprolites.
Coprolite = scientific term for Corn Poopie.

They got a lot of poop in Canada.
Posted by: SteveB | March 31, 2005 at 07:14 AM
Massive ancient excrement, dude!

About 200 associated fragments weathered downslope from the larger mass and would have contributed to the original volume of the feces-- estimated to have been over 2.4 liters (about 2 1/2 quarts)That's a half a gallon of poop. Then again, considering the size of elephant plops, that doesn't seem so big.

Paleontologists delight
In a truly magnificent sight
"We're truly sans words
Seeing T. Rex's turds
Does it get research 'moving'? Quite!"
Even though it's now fossilized,
His BMs were once 'super-sized'
By searching his spoor
You'll get a virtual tour
Of his colonic 'hows', 'whats' and "whys?"

Jeff,
I REALLY appreciate the tip... but it's not working. I'll keep trying.

I hate computers, actually.

An ancient load of crap by any other name is still an ancient load of crap, and smells as old.

My college english teacher had a collection of many copralites arranged in a beautiful velvet box. One day a newspaper did a story on his collection, never realizing they were pieces of petrified poo poo.

DougBo - I have them written out in a way simple enough for even me, Computer Moron, to understand - if you're interested, e-mail me!

OK Eleanor, I have emailed you. Thanks.
I didn't mean to turn the comments section into a computer tutorial, but thanks to all for the info.

Tyler,

for future reference - the longest game of 'Twenty Questions' I was ever a part of ,had the answer 'a dinosaur coprolite'.
I think it was classified as a 'mineral'.

Perhaps you should try using your powers for GOOD, not evil, Dougbo.

Geezer brain on partial lock, but didn't the Coprolites appear on "American Bandstand" back in the late 50's? Had kind of a Doo-Wop sound. Wore the shark-skin jackets with the velvet lapels. Peg pants.

We all need to lie down - we're exhausted just from watching your efforts! Whew!!
WAY TO GO, DougBo!
Posted by: Eleanor | March 31, 2005 at 10:54 AM
Dave, I would really appredciate it if you could stop drawing attention to Canadians and their poop. It's starting to get so I can't travel - I'm starting to get asked some very odd questions by Customs Inspectors and don't even talk about the body cavity searches!
Posted by: Peri, a Canadian | March 31, 2005 at 11:23 AM
Dave, you're getting a lot of messages from people who rarely post up. I think you have an underrepresented readership here. If you ask me (or not), you should lay off setting Barbie's underware (not software) on fire with your rollerblades and spend more time looking for c***.
Posted by: Poop Dogg | March 31, 2005 at 01:43 PM
They should have called it "crapolite".
Peri - how do I become a customs inspector at an airport near you? ;oP
