Why, I remember when you couldn't BUY dinosaur poop no matter HOW hard you tried.

This has been today's basic life lesson.

We tried quartz, but it only makes people think that coprolites are very valuable. back to the drawing-board.

]]> <![CDATA[Meteorite vs. Dinosaur Poop -- Who Wins?]]> I'd guess some dinosaurs had stones in their gizzards to grind up their meals. If so, then conceivably some dinosaur poop contains primordial meteorite. But it is quite unlikely that 4.5 billion year old meteorites contain dinosaur poop. (Now that would be a find.) Does dinosaur poop win?

]]> <![CDATA[Meteorite vs. Dinosaur Poop -- Who Wins?]]> "dawn of the universe" at 4.5 billion years? Pulease! The dawn of the universe is 13.7 billion, and no rocks around.

]]> <![CDATA[Meteorite vs. Dinosaur Poop -- Who Wins?]]> Anyone born in August knows as I do that peridot is their birth stone. And that has been horribly disappointing when talking with people who have diamonds, rubies and whatnot as their birthstone. Who wants something called "peridot?"

That meteorite has the same chemical as peridot. Now that's a worty birth stone. I'd like a ring made from a meteorite. And then Superman can suck it if he wants to come after me.

]]> <![CDATA[Meteorite vs. Dinosaur Poop -- Who Wins?]]> The key here is marketing, as combining the golden terms "dinosaur" and "poop" ranks right up there with "crack" and "cocaine" in terms of draw. How does the poor, nerdy meteorite even compete? I suggest for the next auction they rename the meteorite "star spunk."
