Making the statement that itis dino is something that the seller can not prove one way or the other. Let's see what @GeschWhat and @Carl think about it. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

GeschWhat Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Sorry so late checking in. I agree with Carl. Many sellers attribute various coprolites to dinosaurs. Only in very rare instances can coprolites be attributed actual dinosaurs. Usually the best we can do identify the prey preserved within them.
