This truly spectacular specimen is possibly the longest example of coprolite - fossilized dinosaur feces - ever to be offered at auction. It boasts a wonderfully even, pale brown-yellow coloring and terrifically detailed texture to the heavily botryoidal surface across the whole of its immense length. The passer of this remarkable object is unknown, but it is nonetheless a highly evocative specimen of unprecedented size, presented in four sections, each with a heavy black marble custom base, an eye-watering 40 inches in length overall.
Miocene-Oligocene Wilkes Formation, Toledo, Lewis Co., Washington.
"eye-watering" ?
I hope this is not referring to any smell...
I am amused that next to this on my friends list is

And they say you're hard to shop for...
Yes sir, that is indeed a fine piece of shit.
Gotta love each part having its own marble base
I wish someone would talk about *my* poo that lovingly.

Probably not really poop?

What a shitshow.
The mental image of "a defecation by a turtle the size of a 1958 Buick" was worth the price of admission, though.
