Coprolite

This is what my kids wants from Santa. Seriously! I ain't making this up!

Yes, it looks like a pile of crap because it is a pile of crap, prehistoric crap to be exact! YaYa (my mom) sent Jude a fossil kit in the mail. Inside the fossil kit was the book pictured below. It describes all different kinds of fossils. Luckily, we have all the fossils mentioned in the book except for the Coprolite. According to the book, "Coprolites are fossilized waste matter from ancient animals like mammals, fish, reptiles, invertebrates and insects." Next to the caption and picture of the Coprolite is a little cartoon of a prehistoric turtle taking a crap. It's really kind of cute.

So, now the kid wants fossilized crap from Santa.

(Since I took rocks for jocks (geology) in undergrad, I'm also into rocks and fossils, so I'm totally encouraging this.)

Just another day in Weenie's world!
