If the calcium phosphate takes a harder, more dense form, the “wet finger test” won’t work. In some instances, chemical analysis is required to definitively identify the mineral composition. What Are Coprolites? Coprolites are the fossilized feces of prehistoric animals (enter poop joke here!) They can be found in sedimentary deposits throughout the world, including locations all over the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe. Some coprolites have some crazy stuff found inside of them such as fish scales, plant material, bones and teeth! It’s neat that we can see these things inside an animal’s poop that lived millions of years ago. Qvarnström M, Wernström JV, Piechowski R, Tałanda M, Ahlberg PE, Niedźwiedzki G (March 2019).

If present, they generally have a smooth surface. Looking Under A MicroscopeGoldberg P, Berna F, Macphail RI (July 2009).

Even though a coprolite is the fossilized remains of an animal’s actual poop, it’s no longer poop. Since it’s gone through a fossilization process and all of the biological material has been replaced by minerals and turned into stone, there’s no longer a poopy odor to the animal dung.

The way an object looks under a microscope can tell you whether or not it’s a coprolite. If your specimen appears to be granular, unfortunately, it is probably not a coprolite. Coprolites have been recorded in deposits ranging in age from the Cambrian period [12] to recent times and are found worldwide. Some of them are useful as index fossils, such as Favreina from the Jurassic period of Haute-Savoie in France. Borry M, Cordova B, Perri A, Wibowo M, Prasad Honap T, Ko J, etal. (2020-04-17).
