Turtle Tchotchke Tuesday

A Miocene turtle coprolite.
The information that came with it.

I hope we weren't had. This looks a lot like the pseudocoprolite in the pseudofossil article and is from the same area as that one.

  2. Still, even if it isn't real turtle doo-doo, it's cool cuz it resembles a turtle itself!

  3. It sure doesn't look like any turtle I've ever seen.

  4. Mombert, imagine the turtle's head is the lump to the right. The lumps on the top and bottom are legs. Turtle-ish, yes?
