For sale is an authentic Turtle Coprolite fossil from the Eocene Epoch, discovered in Madagascar. This well-preserved specimen represents the fossilized excrement of an ancient turtle, offering a fascinating glimpse into the diet and ecosystem of prehistoric reptiles that lived approximately 56 to 33.9 million years ago.

Geology & Fossil Type:

Coprolites are trace fossils, meaning they preserve evidence of ancient life rather than the organism itself. This Turtle Coprolite was formed when prehistoric turtles excreted waste that became mineralized over millions of years, preserving its shape and internal composition. These fossils are scientifically significant as they provide insights into the feeding habits and digestive systems of ancient reptiles.

The Eocene Epoch was a time of significant evolution for many reptilian species, and Madagascar was home to a diverse array of wildlife, including ancient turtles. This fossil provides a direct connection to these prehistoric ecosystems, making it a valuable and rare paleontological specimen.

My jeweler friend, Megin Spivey, sent Alex a surprise mini-museum birthday package. The large rock is 60m+ year old dino dung (coprolite). Clockwise, there is also a: piece of fossilized turtle shell, labradorite Ganesh, skull fragment, Mako shark tooth, ancient Mayan deity carving, geode in matrix and a tiny metal Shiva. Spivey creates one-of-a-kind men’s cufflinks and accessories inspired by her world travels.
