· Discovered in 1972 beneath what is now a Lloyds Bank branch in York, England, this 1,200-year-old excrement has become one of the most prized (and humorous) archaeologicalfinds in history.... Independent X-ray fluorescence analysis of Barnum by the Geoarchaeological XRF Laboratory in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, revealed high quantities of phosphorus and calcium – a feature consistent with other coprolites produced by carnivores. This article delves into the records of the biggestpoop ever recorded, examining both animal and human examples. It also uncovers the biological and environmental factors influencing feces size and provides insight into why such records matter in scientific research. · The prize exhibit of the museum is the poop that holds the Guinness World Record for the largest coprolite from a carnivore (meat-eater). The coprolite is over 2 feet (0.6 meters) long and 6 inches (15 centimeters) thick. The NMNH is proud to offer access to over 9 million of its specimen records online. Approximately 292,000 represent all of the museum's available extant biological primary type specimen records. Of those, 139,000 are paleobiological type specimen records, and 560 are mineral type specimen records. About 1.5 million of these specimen records are geo...See full list on naturalhistory.si.eduThe NMNH has multiple policies regarding its use of collections, donation requirements, and access and benefit sharing.
