In 2003, the coprolite broke into three pieces after being dropped while being exhibited to a party of visitors, and efforts were undertaken to reconstruct it
Someone’s job was literally to reconstruct a piece of shit. If you ever feel bad about your job…
“…may be the largest example of fossilised human feces ever found, measuring 20cm (8 in) long and 5cm (2 in) wide! Analysis of the stool has indicated that its producer subsisted largely on meat and bread. It dates back to approximately the 9th century and the person
responsible is believed to be a Viking.”
Imagine the satisfaction after holding it in the entire ship voyage over to the americas, surviving just on meat and stale bread (the constipation must have been horrible)
Finding a tree, and literally dropping the biggest shit in human history
for some weirdos to dig it up 1200 years later and put it in a museum
York isn’t in the Americas. It’s also a former Viking settlement, Jorvik. A millenium later and I’m in the same place, following the same diet of meat and bread.
And may be…?
The coprolite was found in 1972 beneath the site of what was to become the branch of Lloyds Bank on Pavement in York, and may be the largest example of fossilised human faeces (palaeofaeces) ever found, measuring 20 centimetres (8 in) long and 5 centimetres (2 in) wide.

Damn imagine if your shit ended up in a museum. But you didn’t.

Yeah? Let’s see your coprolite buddy
oh yeah I misread York as New York. which would have made sense since vikings are known to have been present in newfoundland area (i think)
also, fix your diet
No one has lived or will ever live a better life
I could take that
