Coprolite happens
Coprolites, or fossilized excrement, is commonly found throughout the world – somewhat surprising considering the ephemeral nature of the source.

Though the process of mineralization has made them hard and (thankfully) odorless, coprolites can still tell us much about the extinct creatures who created them so long ago.
