It's wild to think that at one point some viking was taking a shit in a field somewhere, not knowing that over 1000 years later it would be named after a bank and that would essentially be his entire legacy to the world. Or logacy, if you prefer.

Thank god it's bolted down, otherwise some tourist might steal this valuable artifact.

...

Oh, god. Someone probably would.

I propose we require that human coprolite be referred to as "couricite", in honor of the unit of measurement by which is standardized the volumetric dimension of human excrement. I have spoken.

So even more expensive than Twitter. That is indeed valuable.

I'm confused, the title on this post says oldest, but the article says largest. Which is it?

Maybe I'm just stupid, comrade

I was wondering how poo gets conserved that long. According to wiki it was covered by moist and peaty layers. I guess that prevented any degradation. Wish it was would be better explained somewhere 😅. So if you guys have any information on the biology of this conservation let me know.
