Note: I started the Geology Word of the Week at
Skepchick, where I am one of several fabulous, skeptical women (and one deserving man) bloggers. For the first few weeks of the Geology Word of the Week, I am going to re-post my "Geology Words of the Week(ish)" from Skepchick. Before being distracted by graduate school and life, I made my way from A to G... I will re-post those letters here and then continue with the rest of the alphabet. In 26 weeks, I will have made my way through the alphabet!
Over at Skepchick, I actually blogged about the geology word
carat for the letter C. However, here at Georneys I cannot resist blogging about another geology C word: coprolite!

Coprolite:
1. Fossilized animal dung. That's right, rock solid animal poop.
2. Something I occasionally find under the sofa next to my cats' litter box. Thanks, Samira and Zayna, you little furballs.
