Dinosaur Poop - Is it real?

Not only is dinosaur poop real, it is often made into jewelry.

Petrified or fossilized dinosaur poop is called
coprolite.

My friend's visitors came down to Tucson from Idaho to the famed Gem Show. Over a glass of wine they brought out a piece of coprolite and the jewelry that had been made out of it.

I knew that jewelry could be made out of unusual
things, because I have a lovely piece made from
petrified Hearts of Palm. But poop! and Dinosaur poop?
Checked it out on Google and Google Images
and yep, it is real.

Want to be the first of your girlfriends to
have a genuine piece of dinosaur poop
(coprolite) jewelry?
