The California-based business sells slices of 150-million-year-old dung. Yep, dung. Dino Diamonds turns fossilized dinosaur dung into jewelry, paperweights and other beautiful items. The dung contains bits of seed pods, insects and teeth. The fossilized dung, also knows and coprolite, comes from private land in the Morrison Formation which runs from Montana through Nevada. prices vary from $20 for a slice to $120 for a necklace.
