minus-squareSterile_Technique@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months ago the word “Coprolite” simply meaning fossilized dung. I think I just found my new label for describing our ruling class. We live in a coprocracy, run by coprolites.
minus-squarefossilesque@mander.xyzOPMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoListen, at least coprolites are really useful for science.
minus-squareSterile_Technique@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-29 months agoOh there’s plenty of good science I can think of! How many coprolites can be cut in two by a single motion of a guillotine blade? Does a coprolite puree make a viable fertilizer? How do coprolites hold up against extremes in temperature, pressure, or acceleration? Exposure to acids, bases, enzymatics, radiation? So much valuable data!
