Here is a fun and informative look at a topic sure to grab the attention of any child — poop. Learn how to tell the difference between a rock and a coprolite (fossilized feces). Examine cololites (unpooped poop) from mummified bodies and what they tell us about diets, ancient medicine and intestinal parasites. Learn how to determine the age of poop and who the "poopetrator" was. Make your own petrified poop. Jacob Berkowitz proves that much can be learned from looking at the science behind poop.
