I've got some fairly recent coprolites in my toilet right now... these will serve to indicate that modern man fed on smoked chubs, pretzels and Foster's Lager, really not too different from ancient humans.

I, for one, don't think that the land bridge ever existed. I'll save that for another thread though.
Geology is tough to dispute.   Plate Tectonics are a reality and proven.    The "Land Bridge" is quite possibly the reason, when looking into the "Various Routes into the Americas".   

I've also talked to people who are adamant that the Earth is only 14,000 years old.   I show them a chunk of Banded Ironstone from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.    I tell them that "this Metamorphic Rock is 3.0 Billion Years old."    Some of the oldest rock formations on this Earth are Banded Ironstone Formations.   I'm a "rock hound" and hope to pass on my learnings to my son.    Imagining the Appalachians in their heydey is garganutan to fathom.    27,000ft tall mountains now worn down to 6,000 ft in height.   

For those in Oregon and Northern California, you can acquire the rarest of rocks.    I forget the exact location, but you can get Glaucophane Schist.   As most know, "Subduction of the sea floor creates the magma for the Cascade Region".   Well, Blueschist or (Glaucophane Schist) forms when the Basaltic Ocean floor subducts under the N.A. Plate and it finds itself flipped on top of the N.A. Plate, in an violent counteraction.

I was in Oregon twice and forgot to grab a piece.   :frown:

Its always amazed me how scientists manage to find stuff.
Some things are obvious. A skull or legbone looks like a skill or legbone and is easy to spot as being different from the surrounding rock.
I mean being able to distinguish between a rock tool. and just a plain old rock.And stuff like that. And now between a literal load of crap and an old blub of mud

ohh, its not that hard.  A rock is going to be hard.  A coprolite is hard too, but when you break it open you are usually going to see a corn kernal or two in there.  Plus, the coprolite will have a sort of stinky odor to it, whereas the rock won't.

You mean that the stink can actually last for 14,000 years?   That would be amazing, if really true.

oh yes.  simple re-hydration with a sterile distillation of h2o will yield a detectable odor from any coprolite.  But not all coprolites are the same, obviously.  a coprolite composed of the excretions of the dietary residue of nuts and berries will differ significantly from the esters of a diet consisting largely of early mammals, reptiles or fish.

Dred, paleontologists  spend their lives looking at material like this.  I think they're hard scientists with a little dreamer mixed in....

This confirms that people from Oregon have a long history of not cleaning up after themselves.
