Rhys La Chance, Age 8 Arkansas The biggest coprolite, or fossilized dropping, is the only piece of T rex dung found so far. A team of ancient DNA and paleontology researchers from the University of Adelaide, University of Otago and the NZ Department of Conservation analyzed plant seeds, leaf fragments and DNA from the dried coprolites to start building the first detailed picture of an ecosystem dominated by giant extinct species. This was largely because Roberto Donadoni (a sort of Hollywood version of Sir Alan Sugar - damn, now they've got me at it) has chosen to couple Antonio Cassano, a man so hot-headed he probably has to spray his hair with fire retardant every morning, with the Bayern Munich striker Luca Toni, who looks like the sort of big-hearted lunk who would work a double shift digging in a coprolite pit so his best pal could go off and impregnate his girlfriend. |
