Coprolite Tumblestone - Dinosaur Poo - Kids Fossil Gifts - Fossilised Poo - Symbol for Transformation
Coprolites, aka Coprolith's, are the fossilised faeces of dinosaurs and other ancient animals that lived millions of years ago. They are trace fossils, meaning not of the animal's actual body but give evidence of the animal's diet rather than its form. The name Coprolite derives from the Ancient Greek word kópros, meaning "dung", and líthos meaning "stone". Like other fossils, coprolites have had much of their original composition replaced by mineral deposits such as silicates and calcium carbonate. Coprolites are rarer than some other fossilized remains.
Coprolite is said to have spiritual properties that connect us to the ancient earth energies and to be associated with transformation, symbolizing the process of decay and renewal.

**Please note, these are natural stones and each is unique but may have its own small imperfections such as inclusions, pits or markings within the crystal itself - this is part of their natural beauty and as nature intended they are not perfect. Tumbling these stones may polish off some of these imperfections but not always all of them.**
