Fossilized turtle poo? Nice.
Welcome, BTW. I've enjoyed your posts on geology - very interesting.

Do you know where it is from or how old it is?
Gracias mi amigo. And yea, fossil poop is awesome. Think about it, it is a fossilized behavior that preserves the animals diet. And you can gross people out with it!
I have had quite the warm welcome thus far. I think I am going to like it here.

You'll find yourself doing that often, here. Welcome to the forums.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I don't understand, why would anyone be disgusted by fossilised poop..?
*Kay remembers her nursing days, when fresh poop could be found smeared all over the walls. That's disgusting!*
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Because they think of it as homeopathic poop.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

Huh.. Am I weird for being more grossed out by homeopathy than poop?

And a damn fine one to boot.
