"The only alternative is that the shells were vomited out, in much the
same way that modern-day SubGenii regurgitate the indigestible
beaks of prairie squid they have eaten," he said.

I have a really nice chunk of fossilized dinosaur shit, called a
'coprolite'. A couple of friends found it on the ground when they visited
the Grand Canyon, and gave it to me. They thought it was a sacred stone
because it has a hole through the middle, like what the Celts and American
Indians believe. A snickering rockhound told me different when he saw me
wearing it around my neck during my crystalhead phase.

What actually happened was the calcium and other minerals crystallized in
the middle and made a hole. It's really detailed too, you can see where the
dinosaur rectum shaped it into a Venus of Willendorf-like bolus.

Worship the turd. Turds represent the sacred Mother Earth. That don't
surprise me; what makes dirt dirt is that it's stuff that's shat out of
other creatures.

I think it's cool anyhow. But I don't wear it anymore. Especially if it
ever smelled like the turds my Burmese python made when I had him. Even
eighty million years ago.

Wow, SubGenius paper weights!
