Roaches ate most of the dinosaur poop so it never got to be valuable fossil.

we put our poop in plastic bags to ensure it gets passed on for generations.

Thinking and planning for our posterity is the lest we can do, be sure to leave the bags at the curb to remind other to do the same

What Fossilized Poop Can Tell Us About Dinosaurs

More about dinosaur poop.

Some of these must have been very large.

I do not remember any of the Jurassic Park movies covering dinosaur feces? They would have been a problem with some of those vehicles used in those movies especially that glass ball. That probably would not have remained able to see through for very long.

He/she would probably eat your trees and bushes if that is what he/she liked. Or your dogs and cats and probably you if he/she was not into salad. Or needed some meat on the salad.

I do now recall a huge dinosaur poop mound into which a main character stuck her arm to find out why the triceratops was sick.
