A wonderfully unusual piece of natural history, this tumbled dinosaur coprolite is a genuine fossilised example of prehistoric dung, preserved for millions of years and presented in a clear display case.

Although they may sound amusing, they are valuable scientific fossils because they can offer clues about the diet, environment and wildlife of the ancient world. The accompanying label identifies this specimen as Cretaceous, approximately 100–80 million years old, from Utah, USA.
