| This is the real millennium gift from my friend Manfred and his Family. I did not notice these beautiful stones were coprolites. They are too beautiful as dung, aren't they? |
|
| Nobody would understand how I was joyful when I met coprolites. General scatology was my
favorite field. It is really great that the dung can be preserved as the fossil without the smell. Moreover, all fossils of mammalian dung I know are brown!! Coprolites are greatly different from other fossils which have the dignity with musty smell of museum. Coprolites make me imagine the reality and dynamism; animals bore down and felt relieved after that. I can share the experience with those ancient animals because I repeat the same process every day (dangerous?). I suppose it would be terribly difficult to find such fantastic stars as
coprolites in the field of astronomy. |
