Colorful Dinosaur Coprolite. This interesting fossil comes from the business end of a 150 million year old plant eating dinosaur. Coprolites are fossilized dung that can give us information about what dinosaurs ate. This very large 7X4X3 inch over 4 pound coprolite has the classic pebbly exterior surface and one end has been cut and polished to show its colorful interior which at first glance looks like a piece of petrified wood. From the Morrison Formation of Montana and represents a very large dinosaur such as a Stegosaurus or one of the huge sauropods. A somewhat larger but less colorful coprolite recently brought $6,000 at auction.
Estimated Value $350 - 450.
