Detailed Solution

The largest known fossilized dinosaur poop, nicknamed "Barnum", is roughly 2 feet long and 6 inches wide.

✅ The biggest piece of fossilized dinosaur poop ever found:

  • Length: ~67 cm (26 inches)
  • Width: ~15 cm (6 inches)
  • Weight: ~20 pounds (about 9 kg)
  • Nickname: "Barnum" (named after famous paleontologist Barnum Brown)
  • Location found: South Dakota, USA
  • Estimated age: About 33 million years old (though technically not from a dinosaur — likely from a prehistoric crocodile or other large carnivore)

✅ For actual dinosaur-era coprolites:

  • Most dinosaur coprolites are much smaller — usually a few centimeters.
  • But some sauropod (huge plant-eating dinosaurs) coprolites have been found as large as:
  • 30–40 cm long (12–16 inches)
  • Several kilograms in weight
