This is a very unusual trace fossil. It is a large dinosaur coprolite (poop) from the Jurassic of Utah. This specimen was recently acquired from the Richard Busch Collection. Busch was the Preparator/Asst. Curator at the North Museum in Lancaster, PA from 1965-1992. This impressive coprolite has been sliced with a diamond saw and then highly polished to reveal the beautiful color pattern of the mineralization in the interior of the fossil dung. This is a very cool example of an unusual fossil - what a conversation piece!
