Where is the Poozeum?
the Orlando Science Center
Thanks to Frandsen, his record-breaking collection of dinosaur poo is now at the Orlando Science Center. The Poozeum is a collection of some of the largest coprolites ever found. But the Orlando Science Center also touts having so much more than a “crappy complement” to its existing dinosaur fossil displays.
Who opened a dinosaur poop museum?
George Frandsen
Check out the Poozeum’s founder, George Frandsen, on ABC’s To Tell The Truth! George and the “Imposter” fielded some clever questions from Anthony Anderson, Mama Doris, and the all-star celebrity panel. Hopefully everyone who watched learned a thing or “2” about the awesomeness of coprolites and dinosaur poop.
What was the biggest dinosaur poop?
His goal was to find a specimen larger than the Royal Saskatchewan Museum’s 44 cm by 16 cm (17.3 in by 6.3 in) Tyrannosaurus rex coprolite. This Canadian turd was recognized as the “world’s largest fossilized excrement from a carnivore” by Guinness World Records in 2017.
How do you know if a coprolite is real?
Many coprolites have decidedly poopy shapes. One of the easiest ways to identify coprolites is to compare their shapes to modern analogues. The spiral pattern observed on modern shark excrement is similar to certain marine coprolites. Crocodilian coprolites look almost “fresh”.
How big is the biggest dinosaur poo?
2 feet 2.5 inches

What is petrified poop?
A coprolite (also known as a coprolith) is fossilized feces. Coprolites are classified as trace fossils as opposed to body fossils, as they give evidence for the animal’s behaviour (in this case, diet) rather than morphology.
How much is dino poop worth?
A pile of dinosaur dung 130 million years old sold at a New York auction for nearly $1,000. The prehistoric deposit fetched $960 at Wednesday’s auction, said a spokeswoman for Bonhams New York. Its pre-auction estimate was $450. The fossilized dung is from the Jurassic era, the auction house said.

How old is the water we drink today?
5 billion years
The water on our Earth today is the same water that’s been here for nearly 5 billion years. So far, we haven’t managed to create any new water, and just a tiny fraction of our water has managed to escape out into space. The only thing that changes is the form that water takes as it travels through the water cycle.
