Book Description
In the 1840s a bed of 'coprolites', thought by some to be fossilised dinosaur droppings, was discovered in the Cambridgeshire fens. Rich in phosphate it was much in demand by the nation's manure manufacturers. By the 1860s it was being dug up across much of the county. This book investigates the social, economic and archaeological impact of the fossil diggings in Coton, a small rural village west of Cambridge.

Book Description
In the late-1840s a new industry started in Cambridge - digging up fossils. Known as coprolites and thought by some to be fossilised dinosaur droppings, they were extracted in a large-scale open-cast mining operation to be used as the raw material in the manufacture of superphosphate - the world's first chemical fertiliser. This book investigates the social, economic and environmental impact of the diggings in Fen Ditton.

Book Description
Whether it weighs in at a whopping four pounds or is the size of an egg, fossilized dung is a precious treasure. Petrified poop, also known as coprolite, is rare. When it's discovered, it opens a world into the past. Trace fossils, such as coprolites, tell stories about how ancient animals and humans lived, behaved, and even how they died. Through accessible language and engrossing images, readers will learn how dung detectives identify and study coprolites. Readers will also explore how fossilized feces are formed. Special features include Fun Fact boxes that highlight the wealth of data pulled from poop.
