Museum officials said the dozens of prehistoric poop samples come from across the globe and serve as “time capsules” of what ancient animals ate, how they behaved and where they lived.

The display includes Barnum – the Guinness World Record Holder for “world’s largest fossilized excrement from a carnivore,” which the museum said was generously provided by George Frandsen and a very full T. rex.
