A paleontologist in the making

Today, I was on the phone with an old friend when I had to interrupt the conversation to ask Squink to take the dinosaur guts out of his mouth...

You know the person on the phone is a friend, because he said "Maybe when he is older he will tell me what they tasted like".

I replied "Plastic". (Imagine if I had said chicken)

Can I say I was glad that Squink was not eating a coprolite, and just a plastic unreasonable facsimile of that which makes it?

Hum, guts? Coprolites are not guts are they?

Do you have plastic dinosaur poop?

No, I have a coprolite and I have plastic dino guts... coprolites, to be very general, are made in the guts of a dino.

I have not chewed coprolites, but I have sucked on an ammonite (it was damned hot, and I was out of water).
