The largest known fossilized human feces, valued at $39,000, dates back to the 9th Century AD and is attributed to a Viking. Officially named the Lloyds Bank Coprolite, this remarkable specimen measures 8 inches long and 2 inches wide. It was unearthed in York, northwest England, in 1972 by construction workers during the construction of a Lloyds TSB branch, in an area historically ruled by Norse warriors. The name "Coprolite" means fossilized dung. This 1,200-year-old find is believed to be the largest recorded in human history. ๐ซฃ๐ซฃ
