At the end of the Smell-o-Vision ride. 10|10 awesome museum.
I’m not kidding, I’ve seen it!
Fun story for y’all.
I used to drink a lot of milk. I was a constipated teen. I took a shit one day, and to say it was anything short of awe aspiring wouldn’t do it justice. This thing was one solid thick rod sticking out of the water.
I called my stepdad to check it out. Naturally, he was so surprised he had to tell Mum to come over. A few minutes later we’ve got a whole family of six in a bathroom admiring my turd.
My stepdad claims to have uploaded it to ratemypoo .com (don’t bother going there, the site takes you to ratemypussy .com).
This day I learned our family was not normal.
This is why we have the “poop chainsaw”, son
I’ve shat bigger than that, and i didn’t go saving it for posteriorarity
Someone had fun on the Wikipedia article
The layers that covered the coprolite were moist and peaty.

Why does an archeological artifact have monetary value?
This site is very famous. “Shit” like that (heritage funding) brings back something like 7£ to every 1£ put into it. I forget the exact number. It brings in tourism too.
the word “Coprolite” simply meaning fossilized dung.
I think I just found my new label for describing our ruling class.
We live in a coprocracy, run by coprolites.
Listen, at least coprolites are really useful for science.
Is 1200 years long enough it would be sterile? Like, no original bacteria or parasites?
This is my bread and butter. Peat is anoxic. It’s great for preservation and you get tonnes of stuff that doesn’t preserve elsewhere. Google “Must Farm, UK” I’m an archaeologist that does environmental work in these kinds of environments. Peat preserves eyelashes on bog bodies, it’s nuts. Dissolves other stuff though due to the acids. I’ve got a diagram somewhere give me a bit.
Bog bodies are dope as hell.
