Twitter is for coprolites, Bluesky is for exceptionally preserved Lagerstätte-derived specimens
(No offense to the scientific coolness of coprolites)

Had a crappy day? Well, me too. This is fossilized poo. Coprolites are known from many fossil formations and can be valuable for research. The word "coprolite" is Greek for "dung stone" which is as apt of a name as there is.

We heard you liked coprolites so we put some aquatic bird bits in your coprolites.

A fossil feather from the age of dinosaurs may explain why only some birds survived
An extremely well preserved fossil feather could reveal why some birds survived the dinosaur-killing asteroid, and others did not.

fossilised ink sacs like those of modern cephalopods. She was 1st to recognize that coprolites, known as bezoar stones at the time, were fossilized poo.

#FossilFriday: Oxford geologist William Buckland's coprolite table inlaid with Carboniferous fish #coprolites from the Wardie Shales at Granton on the River Forth. Buckland probably collected these during the 1834 British Association meeting in Edinburgh. It can be seen in Lyme Regis Museum.

Public bathroom in the fossil record. Coprolites made by dicynodonts, probably Dinodontosaurus.

This feels like a great opportunity to talk about 'regurgitalites'.
Coprolites are poop fossils, regurgitalites are vomit fossils. Both can contain useful details about digestion in dinosaurs.
In the case of predators, sometimes we find new species (or at least pieces of them) IN the vomit.

This Fossil Friday is a set of fossilized droppings (coprolites)!
These were collected from the Late Cretaceous rocks of Saskatchewan by Karen Weinhold.
This is APS 1990-004, and the scale bar is 1cm.
