Bookroo's summary

Paleontologist Karen Chin, the "Dung Detective," explains how coprolites, fossilized animal droppings, tell stories that bones can't: which plants and animals lived together long ago, and who was eating whom. Along the way she shows why waste isn't bad at all, but an important part of the cycle of life.

From the publisher

World-famous “Dung Detective” Dr. Karen Chin explains how coprolites (a.k.a. fossil feces) tell stories that bones cannot tell themselves–like which plants and animals lived together in the ancient past. And who was eating whom. And how waste isn’t “bad,” but is, in fact, a very important part of the process of living! This is Step 5 nonfiction at its most fascinating! “From the Trade Paperback edition.”
