TURDS!!!!!!! I shoulda been a turdologist.
Geologists Find 500-Million-Year-Old Feces
Thursday, April 13, 2006
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Swedish geologists have found fossilized feces from a worm that lived some 500 million years ago, media reports said Wednesday.
The tiny piles of feces were found embedded in rock-face near Malmo in southern Sweden by geologists Mats Eriksson and Fredrik Terfelt, the newspaper Sydsvenskan reported.
Eriksson told the newspaper they examined the level of phosphorus of the samples and that "we realized pretty soon that it could not be anything other than coprolites — in other words, fossilized dung."
Terfelt described the find as "unique."
"Cambrian scientists will certainly find them very interesting," Terfelt said.
The two are researching geology at Lund University in southern Sweden, and said they are working on an article about the find that will be published in an international magazine shortly.
"It is inevitable to joke about this, so we gave it the title 'Anomalous faces and ancient feces,'" Eriksson said.

Geologists Find 500-Million-Year-Old Feces
Thursday, April 13, 2006
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Swedish geologists have found fossilized feces from a worm that lived some 500 million years ago, media reports said Wednesday. It figures the media would be all over this sh!t
The tiny piles of feces were found embedded in rock-face near Malmo in southern Sweden by geologists Mats Eriksson and Fredrik Terfelt, the newspaper Sydsvenskan reported. Who looks for tiny piles of feces...check out the back yard of anyone that owns a Pug
Eriksson told the newspaper they examined the level of phosphorus of the samples and that "we realized pretty soon that it could not be anything other than coprolites — in other words, fossilized dung." No Duh! You need a PHD to figure that out??
Terfelt described the find as "unique." This guy needs a real life...
"Cambrian scientists will certainly find them very interesting," Terfelt said. Yea...I bet. Nothing like a 500 million year old turd to liven up the party
The two are researching geology at Lund University in southern Sweden, and said they are working on an article about the find that will be published in an international magazine shortly.Yea...Penthouse Forums |

If I remember correctly, I believe they call them "coprolites"...probably so people don't get scared away.
I studied some archeaology in university for electives, and we actually got to see a number of coprolites. The biggest they had on campus was about the size of a grapefruit. The Calgary Science Center has one that's about as big as your arm....
It's actually kind of cool. You can determine what the creatures ate, and what the environment that they lived in was like.
But I have to admit that I liked studying the primates better than playing with doody.
