I am skeptical about dino poop. I have a few nice examples, cut and one 13 pound whole poop piece from reputable collector. Who knows. It is a fun topic though when you show somebody.
I have seen a coprolite that actually had bone in it. It was cut into a bunch of thin slices and sold on eBay for like a hundred bucks a slab. Crazy. I don't know why there haven't been more with bones in them.

There are actually many specimens with bone and identifiable seeds in them. Most are in museums and private collections that are seldom photographed. Also, a check of college paleo labs will turn up many fine examples. Those that show up on ebay and such places are few and far between, and with starting bids that are out of range of most collectos. The people who actively hunt for coprolites are well aware of the value of fine examples.

on the front page of this website there is a dino poop that looks like the one rockingthenorth has photo of. Also there are some coprolites from Kansas which have bone. All shark coprolites no land dinos. Im looking for land dinos with bones.
