Dinosaur Poop Watch Runs Like... Well...

By , About.com GuideMarch 18, 2010

Follow me on:

Coprolite Dinosaur Poop WatchIf you're going to pay more than $11,000 for a watch, you'd probably want it to be made of gold and encrusted in precious gems... not poop.

But Swiss company Artya has unveiled an expensive new watch, and it's literally made of dung.

Dinosaur dung.

My friend Bob Strauss, the dinosaur guide here at About.com, reminds me that the "polite" word for this stuff is coprolite, and these stone leftovers actually play an important role in paleontology.

Maybe, but I'm still not wearing it.

Oddly enough, I know two people who collect these dino-turds, and they both have the same first name. I won't tell you who they are... but if you know anyone named Ed, don't pick up any stone-like objects they might have around. (Strange Products)

It’s an icebreaker when you meet the ladies — trust me, they go crazy for dino dung.
