Coprolith refers to a fossilized piece of feces or dung. However, there are alternative words that can be used instead of coprolith. The term "excrementite" may be used as a synonym for coprolith, which refers to any fossilized waste material. Another synonym to coprolith is "fecalite," which denotes a hardened or fossilized accumulation of animal excrement. Other synonyms for coprolith include "dungstones" or "scatolites," which are often used by geologists to describe the specific type of rock formation that contains fossilized droppings. These alternative terms deserve to be used more often to describe the fascinating world of fossilized excrement.
