.50" Cretaceous Fossil Coprolite (Poop) - Montana

This is a highly unusual fossil from the Late Cretaceous, Hell Creek Formation of Montana. It's a coprolite (fossil poop). The coprolite measures .5" wide and we can only guess at what might have produced it. The Hell Creek Formation represents an environment near the shoreline of the Western Interior Seaway so you can get a mix of terrestrial fossils like dinosaurs along with fish, reptile, and amphibian fossils.

Comes with an acrylic display case.

The Hell Creek Formation

Renowned for both its age and rich sedimentary layers, the Hell Creek Formation is one of the most intensively studied fossil-bearing regions on Earth. To date, scientists have documented 158 genera of animals and 64 genera of plants from its rocks, with new finds emerging regularly. Beyond iconic dinosaurs such as tyrannosaurs, ceratopsians, and hadrosaurs, the formation has produced an extraordinary array of life, including amphibians, reptiles, lizards, snakes, turtles, fish, sharks, birds, and early mammals. Together, these fossils provide the most complete picture of the ecosystems that thrived just before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
