That's informally known as "The LLoyd's Bank Turd" in England. It was found in York when excavating for a new bank. Notice the crack. Originally it was totally intact, but a clumsy museum person dropped it when showing it to a tour group. Looks like they've repaired it now. That's really getting your Sh@t together!
See, Nephite poo was all destroyed when the very earth itself churned and turned at Christ's appearance there, thus burying everything so deep it will never be found! That's what I was once told about the missing artifacts and skeletons and buildings that one would expect to find. God hit the flusher handle on the new world, so we can't see those things.
I realized that doesn't explain why Inca, Aztec and Mayan remains, are still here, though.
That's a nice theory except for the fact that the civilization supposedly continued several more centuries after Christ's appearance.
Also, why did God hit the flusher handle on the Nephite and Lamanite civilizations? That's kind of a jerk move since they aren't the ones who crucified him. They were no more wicked than other waring civilizations on the planet at the time.
"Fossilized human feces and other evidence from a West Coast cave demonstrates the existence of a long-lost, 13,500-year-old American culture, scientists said Thursday."
Poo older than the age of the earth according to Mormons. Poo that predates the Nephites and Jaredites.
"Meat was apparently not in short supply in earlier periods. Coprolite evidence shows that meat was the second most abundant component of the diet both in Ocampo, Tamaulipas in 1450 and in Techuacan, Puebla in 1120 (7, pp. 22-49). Both of these dates are within the time span of the Toltec-Aztec presence in Mexico."
So how could we determine if the poo is Nephite in origin? The BoM is very clear about the type of food they ate. In the article cited above the scientists were able to analyze the corprolite to determine the diet of the people who made it. So we should be able to find some that have remnants of the Old World plants and animals that the Nephites brought with them on their journey and which grew exceedingly well.
This is the most interesting thread about sh!t that I've ever read! Not that I read a lot about sh!t. Thank you for confirming once again that the church is crap.
Who do you think helped Captain Moroni wage war? His Corprolites. I hear they were the sh!t. Whenever the enemy saw them approaching they would scatter.
Well. When new archaeological things are found, I have a habit of trying to imagine people using or creating what it was that has been found. This is not a good idea in this particular case.

MJ, one of the jobs I had when working on archaeological digs was excavating old pit toilets. By hand, using a small trowel.
As you'd expect, the soil was much more fertile than the surrounding ground.
We found lots of broken pottery, old clay tobacco pipes, etc.
When I was young, i was told that TSCC sh$t was good for me and I must eat. If we ever said the TSCC sh$t tasted bad, we were told we were not eating enough. Eating more and pretending we liked it would lead to a taste for it. In addition, we were required to stand up in front of a group of people once a month and tell them we liked TSCC sh$t because it would make us like it more.
However, one day, I admitted to myself that TSCC sh$t stinks and I could no longer force myself to eat it.

I really love you guys....it is so much more fun here...
The Mormons dish out so much shit. Why don't they talk about it and share their testimoney about all of their shit? Mormon life revolves around shit. It's a daily event. You eat, sleep, breathe, and pray shit every moment you are mormon. I should be called the church eating, breathing, and praying shit.
At least the converts would know what a load of shit they were signing up for.
Hmmm, there must be something unique about Middle Eastern poo that prevents its discovery centuries later. That would explain the absence of Jaredite/Nephite/Lamanite poo, as well as the 2.5 million Israelites that wandered in the desert for 40 years (yes, that is a shot at Homeless).
The same phenomenon must also apply to their animals, otherwise the coprolites from Jaredite elephants and Nephite horses would be exhibit A for apologists.
I once met an attorney who worked in Anchorage, Alaska. He was a Native American, dealing mostly with issues resulting from the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. He told me that "everywhere a Native American took a crap is now Sacred Ground and it's making me a bunch of money."
