Picture 12This picture taken in my courtyard showing my larger Coprolites.

I found this colorful Coprolite at 5:30 am this morning on 08/17/2017. It was on the side of a canyon exposing just the top after our last rain storm. The monsoon rains have helped reveal this hidden desert treasure. I doenjoy the Arizona monsoon season, unfortunately it comes with extreme day time heat during this time of year encouraging me to hunt in the early hours of the day. This outstanding Coprolite will be perfect for your next lapidary project. Excellent reviews from my Coprolite customers. Included in your package is the definition of Coprolite along with the GPS Coordinates where I found this nice Coprolite all printed on nice stationary.

Coprolite isfossilized excrement of animals. This specimen was found in the state ofArizona. Preserved under unique conditions almost 130 million years ago. Atypical specimen weighs a few ounces up to several pounds. These Coprolitesfound in Arizona are very smooth from tumbling through the canyons and valleysover many years. The colors and patterns are all similar, but each rockmaintains its own beauty by color and design.

Coprolites are fossilized feces or animal dung. They form an important class ofobjects studied in the field of paleontology.A coprolite is a type of trace fossil and can vary in size from the tiny pilesof excreta from a worm that lived some 500 million years ago to the largedroppings of crocodiles, dinosaurs or mammals. Typical sizes vary from lessthan 5 mm (0.2 inches) to 5 cm (2 in), although they may exceed 30 cm (12inches) in length. There is a large variety of shapes: cigar-shaped,lens-shaped, kidney-shaped, cone-shaped, round, oval, cylindrical andspiral-shaped, depending upon the type of animal which produced them, although,as with other trace fossils, the specific animal is usually not known. Analysisof coprolites by archaeologists can provide information on the diet and healthof a study subject.The recognition of coprolites is aided by their structural patterns, such asspiral or annular markings, by their content, such as undigested food fragmentsand by associated fossil remains. The smallest coprolites are often difficultto distinguish from inorganic pellets or from eggs. Most coprolites arecomposed chiefly of calcium phosphate, along with minor quantities of organicmatter. By analyzing coprolites, it can, in some cases, be possible todetermine the diet of the animal.
