Last orange one looks like fossilized crab body without legs. I think the back missing triangle was the tail part. I like to collect fossils and have found some interesting rocks too along the way. The same meteorite that killed dinosaurs could have created enough heat to bake the earth and, the shallow water creatures too. You can find some neat rocks on south jersey and along Delaware River and wissahickon Creek too.
Hi there just found you! And omg I love what you are doing I collect the odd stone! From around the UK northwest area we have amazing Caves in the Derbyshire area one being Blue John Mines started collecting when Dad took us Camping in Edale! And would hike the local areas around there I'm 66 years old now and unfortunately I can't do hiking any more but my Son Michael and Lisa and there two youngest boys are exactly the same as myself 😂 always finding usually things 💜🙏💜 Caz
I taught Jr high earth science. I taught fossils at the beginning of the school year. On the last day in the spring one student stole something out of another one's locker. The kid was really polite but was furious at the other one and wanted to call him names and shouted "you jerk - you...you...you... COPROLITE! You're just a coprolite! 😂😂😂 now that's a lesson that was internalized!
If you ease up on the pressure as you're cutting, you will have less chipping. I've been working lapidary since age 14 yrs. And instill have to remeber this myself as it's easy to get excited and push to quickly. The microscope is a great idea, but don't forget to check them with a UV light. Appreciate your content, keep it coming👍🏻💯
Thanks, David. Looks like this guy needs some advice and training, especially if he's charging to cut rocks or profiting from this channel. I feel bad for Granny who trusted him with her collection.
I would wonder if there's some kind of hard resin-like material you could encase these with before (slowly and gingerly) sawing them in half, which could then be dissolved or melted away afterward if desired. That way, among other things, you could choose literally any cutting angle you wanted.
@@peterblinn7946 Had the same thought, gotta be a handy way to stabilize these. I did the nerd thing n went and asked GPT4: Casting in Epoxy - Keeps omni-directional pressure on all rock surfaces, provides clear, grippable, polishable, displayable medium for handling, researching, and displaying cut pieces. Freshly exposed surfaces can be re-immersed and sealed with epoxy, allowing for additional stabilized slices from each new cut. This would enable extremely thin slices of stone to be made directly into 'slides' of epoxy-stone-epoxy plates.
Just an idea, put a painter’s tape around the stone before you cut. It might help with some of the issues of breaking. Maybe worth a try. Other than that, that 🦖💩 looks cool. I didn’t think that there would be a smell..interesting. Very cool and thank you for sharing this. ✌️🫶😃
I'm a total geo nerd, and I just stumbled across your channel by accident. Can I just say I love what you're doing here? Rocks and humor... Two of my FAVORITE things! Keep up the good work!
I never thought I would spend over 15 minutes looking at somebody handle poop. But here I am. They really do look fascinating inside. It sucks that they actually sink. That orange one was really neat. I've never seen an agatized pinecone before and I am not disappointed, it was so cool!
7:09 this possible coprolite is almost 100% Iron Pyrite, and many of the deep-sea fossils have a great deal of Iron Pyrite in this so even though we see it quite often Iron Pyritized fossils are extremely cool to me. especially when you find almost perfectly round nodes of sediment with sea fossils in them that have been perfectly polished and look like a solid ball of Iron Pyrite! So, if this truly is a fish turd, it is the most blinging turd ever seen so far! LOL
Absolutely love videos like this...not only do you explore a wide range of environments looking for stone specimens specific to those areas but you also explore the innards of said stones which make the hobby of rock collecting that much more intriguing. Bravo to you sir! Keep doing what you're doing and thanks so much for sharing. Love this stuff!!!
OMG, I've never enjoyed or laughed as much as listening to your tongue in cheek comments as you cut. 😂 Never knew poo could be so much fun. Especially loved the agatized specimens. TY for such a fun start to my day.
It is not millions of years . that is false claim by academia by the faulty carbon dating farse ( a carbon dating starts with the assumption of a date by the archeologist ) and the circular reasoning of the strata dates the fossil and the fossil date the strata.
@@ckh57 If there's no way to use carbon dating to figure out the times, then you have no way of knowing if it's millions of years or not. So the first claim that it's not isn't even backed up by your criticism of the evidence. Also you don't understand the science of fossil dating whatsoever. Lol. They predominantly do not carbon date Fossils or rocks. Carbon is limited by a few thousand years. They use other isotopes for radiometric dating of things like million year old Fossils. Furthermore, sediment analysis is the comparison they use to ascertain whether the method is accurate because sediment analysis is a proven and accurate method of dating. Just like carbon dating young things was compared to known age determining methods like tree rings and historical records.
-@@knightartorias1825- probably just another unbelieving in a God creator evolutionist. Carbon is still a farce and we all know it. There was an incident where a bone was buried ad dug up later and then taken to carbon date and it was dated at millions of years old. so much for your carbo dating scam.
@@knightartorias1825 - FYI th-cam.com/video/fg6MfnmxPB4/w-d-xo.html . the truth shall set you free from brain washed ideas that are only faulty assumptions.
Are you sure about "mature" ? Just think about what it would be like if the world stopped making things be taboo like poo.... We wouldn't desire to laugh at copalite or even bigger chunks of whatever in the planet Uranus. In short political correctness isn't even something to joke about. So not funny.
Well, I'm thinking, what to do with all this coprolite! A lot of variety. Cut into small tiles and cover a table top! Encrust a jewelry box? Cover the counter next to the toilet. Woooopie!!!
that one at 5.47 was special😮😲Wow, that pinecone was actually like an artwork, so nice!! Never heard about coprolite🤔 That flat poop had beutiful orange color, interesting.
Oh wow! Those of us who are into rocks and fossils are really excited by what you are showing today. And please thank Granny for giving you all those neat cards. As you well know, Taylor, sometimes knowing where a fossil is found is the #1 clue to its identification. Thank you, Granny!
Why do you eat and watch at the same time? Aren't meals supposed to be eaten on the table with the family and no TV or phone? Feel sad for you. What a waste.
I've been a rock and fossil hound my whole life. Those rocks your cutting in half are really cool. I hope you can find a different way to hold the rocks while your cutting them. As a professional commercial shop carpenter and welder for 30 years I count myself lucky to have never been seriously injured, even though I was always careful. A grinder cut is very painful and destructive very quickly. The blade rotation will drag you down and into itself. You wont have time to even react until its too late. I've seen it happen to a few people. Consider a young newbee sawing their finger half way off after watching one of your vids. Peace 😎
The Tamagee river is known for pyritized shark coprolites. I don't remember the shark species though. You can probably look it up. I hope you make Granny G a nice pendant from one of her poos for being such a blessing to us all to allow us to see whats inside her old #2
I never saw anything like this before. I am an electrician and have had to core and saw through concrete for conduit and I have kept several cores because the aggregate was interesting. Coming from a different use of cutting I have some ideas for you. I would suggest using a sled to minimize fractures, and maybe using a towel and clamps to secure the stones. Also if you suspect something is special a new but slightly broken in blade works so much better when cutting. Another thing I noticed from my personal experience is slow uniform pressure gives me the best cuts
Yes the light colored with orange is definitely coprolite. I have many like that. Some with blues and greens. The dino poop usually has some agatization. . I love the patterns in old poo 😅
I knew a rock shop owner on Cape Cod. A lady picked up a coprolite. Owner said to give it a lick if she wanted to know how it would look like polished. Then told her what coprolite really is. Sued and paid out $5000. This was in the late 70’s.
i couldnt tell if all of them were coprolites or not(not my field of study, haha) but several of them were unmistakable! it is amazing that minerals could order themselves so tidily that you can =see= the shape of the partially/fully digested roughage that used to be in them. plants that have gone through an animal's gut then decomposed to the point where the space they once were fills with stone. the world is amazing!
My grandma passed in Arizona on Thanksgiving. She had a fantastic rock collection (some purchased, a lot personally collected), and we had her memorial 2 weeks ago. I may be the most knowledgeable family member when it comes to rocks and minerals. 2 weeks ago my Aunt wanted to show me a specimen she was taking home. She told me her mom always called it dinosaur poop, but my aunt never believed her - wanted to keep the rock purely for the sentimental value, recalling all the light hearted jokes about the dinosaur poop. I don't know much about coprolite, but have seen a good bit of it. Was expecting like a pocket sized rock, or an unusual formation of something more common. I was shocked when she brought out a piece that looked amazingly similar to coprolite I've seen.... And weighs at least 15lbs! Should have taken a few pictures, but didn't, this thing was huge! Told her I don't know for sure, but it looks like it certainly could be. Also told her i think the name for it is something like "crapolite", lol! Super excited to see you cut open some, so soon after! Happy coincidence! Fascinated to see the insides! I would never suggest my aunt get it cut, in fact you've made me decide the opposite, with all the chipping. However, I'm sharing your video with her, so she may also enjoy the beautiful variety of fossilized poop!
Granny's have the best interests but slices under glass made into a table with all the colours would look cool .And a great way for scientists to see what past animals diets were
sadly my home had been robbed by friends of my daughter. I lost a really pretty corprolite. She and I have come to terms with how she lives her life and her friends. Sad lots of my things i treasured. So fun to watch you open some true bits of the past.
I was literally eating chocolate chip cookies and some milk while watching this! That one with the orange bits through it was my favorite. Love the vids!
I'm a rock collector myself and this is really funny. In my country, we have the world expert in extracting DNA from coprolites😂 You are so killing me with this.... Agatized Turd😆😆
@@AgateDad So, the expert's brother is a nationally known archaeologist and he has been known to say at a dig... "If you find turds, call my brother"..... Haha😅
That pinecone is extraordinary!! I never thought of so many types of coprolite. Duh. Why wouldn't it there be ... I have a cow pattie shaped rock from Lake Superior beach. It was shaped so much like a ploppy cow pie I just couldn't leave it behind. We call it my dinosaur poop rock. It would have to be a smaller Cow sized dino. I think it's a pinky toned rock, grainy. I didn't think it was really a dino pie. I'll locate and send a pic. Also coprolite cabochon cracked me up. Thinking I'd want mega sealer layers on it ...
Hiyo AgateDad- Ima fieldwork geologist and do mineral specimen ID as dayjob, but been chasing agates for 51years (since 5 growing up in NW IL on Mississippi River small town. Still my home base!) I've watched a few of your vids, (you have a LOT!~) Glad you are enjoying the hunt, and sectioning to see wha'ts inside! Keep having fun! Allow me to elucidate (I.D.) a few things in this video. I humorously say this to people: "I'm not always right? But I'm rarely wrong! LoL:)- of course, YMMV. Best Regards! 4:36 Utah? coprolite- I have seen lots of them have a septarian type- agatized center as such ( mudstone clast drys- gets shrinkage cracks at interior-chalced/qtz druse/calcite). 8:45 Ive seen, not handled, spiral copro. Though, I wondered if was partial orthocone cephalopod cast/concretion. Not knowing origin site makes hardest to educated guess. NW Coastal concretions/copro vs MT/Dakotas vs UT. Yes, spalling is so frustration! 11:33 orbicular rhyolite/lithophysae "type" chunk. the knobs are the solid lithophysae (like dud t-eggs). The cross section shows the flow banding of rhyolitic pyroclastic matrix, and orbs. Later the groundmass got eroded and thats this. OVERALL- TRY THIS- FRACTURE CONSERVATION..... a lil trick I use A LOT! get "Jet Instant" super glue (blue label- is very thin!) get and use the long, micro thin, 'Flexitips' to distribute glue over fractured area. I use microtorch to carefully heatshrink the flexitip onto the glue bottle nozzle tip. you dont have to "cap" the flexitip. next use time, The glue in end of tip may be hard plug, scissor snip off a mm bit, good to go. For specimenlean of debris(no glue crud in place) and absolutely dry (Water in fractures will cause glue to set instantly and effloresce as ugly milk white). Jet is teh right thinness to wick into the cracks - give it a few seconds, then blot excess off. If you glue your finger to rock/bottle etc. do NOT pull away. TWIST, to break bond. ya loose a lil bit exterior skin-no biggee. Pulling delaminates deeper skin-not cool! Let dry for a day. CUT- and you will not get all that crumbling. Works great for face/ skim cutting, the fractured skim will often be a thin slab, instead of junk bits. Works REALLY good too, on porous sedimentary stuff likesome of these coprolites. Last important thing- do NOT breathe the glue vapors. You can develop and allergy to the glue (I have it- SUX! 6hrs later-BOOM- runny nose congestion for an hour or 3. Look it up-its a thing) No one told me:( I use an exhaust fan (either room fan blowing past, or BEST- like a clothes dryer tube with small inline fan going from an open face box out thru window. The Glue is SO useful, and PPE is cheap and simple! Rock On!
6:13 is definitely my number one as well! That orange is insanely bright!! It almost looks like some sort of smile mold! Still disappointed you didn't find any corn though.
I bought a coprolite from a fossil vendor in Alberta, Canada. It’s thought to be from a raptor type dinosaur and is a bunch of brown “ chunks” about 4 inches long. Quite attractive, for a turd, and it doesn’t stink. No plans on slicing it open though. I enjoyed your video today. Thanks! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
@agatedad 5:26 I KNEW IT! Cisco is really close to Yellowcat in Utah and I knew that color was going to be inside! ❤ I'm tellin ya, if I can, I'm gonna hunt there this Spring or if it dries up soon (very muddy) and I'll send you some Yellowcat Agates.
The comment of smell like oil or road tar, can be the same when cutting some types of Australian opal. I find that odor when I cut some opal with black potch in it. Black potch from Mintabie and also some Lightening Ridge at times. I love cutting Australian opal and have material from multiple fields, fossils vegetation , shells, boulder, koriot, etc.
Fascinating. Some really interesting specimens there. Has Granny G published any of her research on coprolites? I would be interested, as these are very easy to find where I live, and I have many samples. I haven't tried polishing any yet, but may just have to do that.
Oh yeah, that pinecone is gorgeous! That was fun, the patty was especially colorful. Regarding the chipping/splitting, I wonder if you could stabilize those before cutting. Using the two-part epoxy resin, put each piece in a container and pour in your prepared resin. Then set the container of resin/poop in a pressure pot for a day or two until the resin is set. I've never tried this but I think the pressure pot might force resin into the pores and cracks, and "set" the piece so that it's stable when you cut it. It's the same basic process they use to stabilize softer minerals like turquoise so that it can be used in jewelry. Anyway, that was fun, thanks and tell Granny hey for us!

It may be difficult to polish a turd but its easy to sprinkle glitter on one.
Snort, another magnificent comment. So many funny pooh jokes😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was always told you can!! polish a turd but it's still a turd
I kept thinking how much it would hurt to pass one of those.
The pinecone is gorgeous, and would make a stunning pendant. The "patty" was interesting.

sadly my home had been robbed by friends of my daughter. I lost a really pretty corprolite. She and I have come to terms with how she lives her life and her friends. Sad lots of my things i treasured. So fun to watch you open some true bits of the past.
You're so "stinking" cute with your synonyms for coprolite!
I was literally eating chocolate chip cookies and some milk while watching this! That one with the orange bits through it was my favorite. Love the vids!
So good!
I have never ever heard of fossilized poop until this video! Never stop learning
Never!
The pinecone is beautiful so it's the orange 🧡
I'm a rock collector myself and this is really funny. In my country, we have the world expert in extracting DNA from coprolites😂 You are so killing me with this.... Agatized Turd😆😆
So cool!
@@AgateDad So, the expert's brother is a nationally known archaeologist and he has been known to say at a dig... "If you find turds, call my brother"..... Haha😅
That looked so dangerous, the way your fingers moved around the blade.
Mythbusters proved that you can polish a turd. You proved that you can cut one too. Or cut two too? As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
❤️☺️
That pinecone is extraordinary!!
I never thought of so many types of coprolite. Duh. Why wouldn't it there be ...
I have a cow pattie shaped rock from Lake Superior beach. It was shaped so much like a ploppy cow pie I just couldn't leave it behind. We call it my dinosaur poop rock. It would have to be a smaller Cow sized dino. I think it's a pinky toned rock, grainy. I didn't think it was really a dino pie. I'll locate and send a pic.
Also coprolite cabochon cracked me up. Thinking I'd want mega sealer layers on it ...
Hiyo AgateDad- Ima fieldwork geologist and do mineral specimen ID as dayjob, but been chasing agates for 51years (since 5 growing up in NW IL on Mississippi River small town. Still my home base!)
I've watched a few of your vids, (you have a LOT!~) Glad you are enjoying the hunt, and sectioning to see wha'ts inside! Keep having fun!
Allow me to elucidate (I.D.) a few things in this video.
I humorously say this to people: "I'm not always right? But I'm rarely wrong! LoL:)- of course, YMMV. Best Regards!
4:36 Utah? coprolite- I have seen lots of them have a septarian type- agatized center as such ( mudstone clast drys- gets shrinkage cracks at interior-chalced/qtz druse/calcite).
8:45 Ive seen, not handled, spiral copro. Though, I wondered if was partial orthocone cephalopod cast/concretion. Not knowing origin site makes hardest to educated guess. NW Coastal concretions/copro vs MT/Dakotas vs UT. Yes, spalling is so frustration!
11:33 orbicular rhyolite/lithophysae "type" chunk. the knobs are the solid lithophysae (like dud t-eggs). The cross section shows the flow banding of rhyolitic pyroclastic matrix, and orbs. Later the groundmass got eroded and thats this.
OVERALL- TRY THIS- FRACTURE CONSERVATION.....
a lil trick I use A LOT! get "Jet Instant" super glue (blue label- is very thin!) get and use the long, micro thin, 'Flexitips' to distribute glue over fractured area. I use microtorch to carefully heatshrink the flexitip onto the glue bottle nozzle tip. you dont have to "cap" the flexitip. next use time, The glue in end of tip may be hard plug, scissor snip off a mm bit, good to go.
For specimenlean of debris(no glue crud in place) and absolutely dry (Water in fractures will cause glue to set instantly and effloresce as ugly milk white). Jet is teh right thinness to wick into the cracks - give it a few seconds, then blot excess off.
If you glue your finger to rock/bottle etc. do NOT pull away. TWIST, to break bond. ya loose a lil bit exterior skin-no biggee. Pulling delaminates deeper skin-not cool!
Let dry for a day. CUT- and you will not get all that crumbling. Works great for face/ skim cutting, the fractured skim will often be a thin slab, instead of junk bits.
Works REALLY good too, on porous sedimentary stuff likesome of these coprolites.
Last important thing- do NOT breathe the glue vapors. You can develop and allergy to the glue (I have it- SUX! 6hrs later-BOOM- runny nose congestion for an hour or 3. Look it up-its a thing) No one told me:( I use an exhaust fan (either room fan blowing past, or BEST- like a clothes dryer tube with small inline fan going from an open face box out thru window.
The Glue is SO useful, and PPE is cheap and simple! Rock On!
Another "chip off the old plop"... I LOVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR!!!
6:13 is definitely my number one as well! That orange is insanely bright!! It almost looks like some sort of smile mold! Still disappointed you didn't find any corn though.
This was sooo cool! The pine cone and the Pattie were my favorites! Thankyou!
Your number one with number two
I appreciate that very much 💩
This video wasn't crappy at all thank you
Pleease do a video with your grandma with microscopic photos🎉🥳⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
How funny would it be to find a corn kernel ! The bumpy one , left piece looks like a badger !
Can’t wait to see this! I called in sick just for the show!
You’re crazy if you did!! 😂
@@AgateDad LOL!! I did call in sick…just joking 🙃 about the part for the show! 🤣 hahaha!
That small piece was a dinggleberry with a kernel of corn. 😋
Not bad. I thought they would be s#itty.😂😂😂.
These puns are funny!
That Utah orange one is the prettiest piece of poo I’ve ever seen 😊
I bought a coprolite from a fossil vendor in Alberta, Canada. It’s thought to be from a raptor type dinosaur and is a bunch of brown “ chunks” about 4 inches long. Quite attractive, for a turd, and it doesn’t stink. No plans on slicing it open though. I enjoyed your video today. Thanks! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
I was always told you cant polish a turd 😂 some are really gorgeous
On the first pattie shaped one, those "fractures" might be insect burrows ,as the placard suggests
Eeeew‼️😂🤣 u r very funny. Thx for the laugh. I do like your presentation. I’m impatient & like that u show them right after u cut them.🥰
Thank you Granny G.!
Why didn't it dissolve during rains and floods? You would think that it would have dissolved a long time ago.
Immediately covered by a thick layer of sand. And this is a piece of poop. Many of these creatures shit piles the size of a five year old.
@agatedad 5:26 I KNEW IT! Cisco is really close to Yellowcat in Utah and I knew that color was going to be inside! ❤ I'm tellin ya, if I can, I'm gonna hunt there this Spring or if it dries up soon (very muddy) and I'll send you some Yellowcat Agates.
I'll also get you agatized 🦕 💩!
I laughed when you commented about how you described the poo 😂 petrified poo is interesting to know what was eaten back in the days 😮
The pine cone was amazing! So fun to watch!
8:00 has to be my favorite specimen the preservation is stunning
🤔 hmm... learned something new today ... will have to pay more attention when I pick up a "rock or stone" 😮
Some cool stool cutting. ✌️😎👍
I wonder if it’s flammable. 🧐 This was interesting!! I never heard of these. Quite funny too.
Who would have thought that Poo could be pretty LOL
Oh my gosh, the End is too funny!😂
When you said ''ooh its pretty...''
Am like...😱😱😱
Your videos are always so fun. You have a great sense of humor!
Glad you like them!
Lol, you laugh like a mad scientist while cutting fossilized turds in half 🤣😂😂 I love it 😂❤❤❤
The comment of smell like oil or road tar, can be the same when cutting some types of Australian opal. I find that odor when I cut some opal with black potch in it. Black potch from Mintabie and also some Lightening Ridge at times. I love cutting Australian opal and have material from multiple fields, fossils vegetation , shells, boulder, koriot, etc.
You learn something new every day on the internet. I never heard of collecting fossilized poo and I am glad I know now. You do wonderful work.
Fascinating. Some really interesting specimens there. Has Granny G published any of her research on coprolites?
I would be interested, as these are very easy to find where I live, and I have many samples. I haven't tried polishing any yet, but may just have to do that.
Use some clay to hold the stones so they are better supported and you will break less
Love the humor you add to your videos!😂
Glad you like them!
Thanks for plopping by.
I feel like I missed an opportunity with saying that at the end of this video.
02:46 You whipped out those big honkers and I literally yelled, "Oh, crap!" 🤣
Awesome never heard of crapperlite
Oh yeah, that pinecone is gorgeous! That was fun, the patty was especially colorful. Regarding the chipping/splitting, I wonder if you could stabilize those before cutting. Using the two-part epoxy resin, put each piece in a container and pour in your prepared resin. Then set the container of resin/poop in a pressure pot for a day or two until the resin is set. I've never tried this but I think the pressure pot might force resin into the pores and cracks, and "set" the piece so that it's stable when you cut it. It's the same basic process they use to stabilize softer minerals like turquoise so that it can be used in jewelry. Anyway, that was fun, thanks and tell Granny hey for us!
yeah, but cutting poop isn't his day job , ya know?
