Coprolite is the fossilized excrement of mammals and other animals.
The discovery of the true nature of this material was made by the
English geologist William Buckland, who observed that certain convoluted bodies occurring in the Lias (rock strata of Early Jurassic age, 187 to 208 million years old) of Gloucestershire had a form that would have been produced by their passage in the soft state through the intestines of reptiles or fishes.
These bodies had long been known as fossil fir cones and bezoar stones.
Buckland's conjecture that they were of fecal origin and similar to the
excrement of hyenas was confirmed on analysis; they were found to
consist essentially of calcium phosphate and carbonate and not
infrequently contained fragments of unaltered bone.
The name coprolites (from Greek kopros, "dung"; and lithos, "stone") was accordingly given them by Buckland.
Treating similar cave-dweller dung with PTB released fragments of
mitochondrial DNA -- presumably shed via intestinal cells -- which were
used to identify what mammal left the coprolite behind and then use the
DNA to clone living people just like me....and you.
Ahhhh SHIT is the word Mum!
