Bust out your favorite poop jokes because a whole bunch of it will soon be on display in downtown Bradenton.

Fortunately, it's fossilized crap. Something paleontologists call "coprolite" and it provides them with valuable information about the lifestyles and diets of prehistoric animals.

And these turds being shown at the South Florida Museum are famous.

In August, Guinness World Records certified George Frandsen's coprolite collection as the world's largest collection of fossilized dung. They meticulously inspected each coprolite specimen to determine if it was a true poop fossil or just a wanna-be fossilized poop, because, apparently, phony fossilized poop is a thing. South Florida Museum staff supervised the hours-long count to help ensure all of the Guinness World Records rules were followed. We have no idea how they celebrated.

This collection, which includes a fossilized poo specimen nicknamed "Precious" believed to have been left behind by a crocodilian species, will be unveiled at the South Florida Museum on Saturday, or, as paleontologists call it, National Fossil Day.

Museum Education Director Jeff Rodgers, a coprolite collector in his own right, is especially enthusiastic about this special exhibition.

"This isn't just any poop," he says in a statement. "This is fossilized poop. Scientifically, we call the prized nuggets coprolites, or 'dungstones.' They are beautiful, in their way, and they are important because they can actually tell us quite a bit about the plant and animal life that flourished in ecosystems that disappeared millions of years ago."

Rodgers served as the official witness to the count and loved every minute of it.

He says, "Twenty million year old crocodilian coprolites! Spirals of fossilized fish poop! Bags of mineralized frog feces! That is a good day at work."
