About South Dakota Coprolite
The South Dakota Coprolite is a trace-fossil fossil dating to the Various. Coprolite is a realistic South Dakota fossil profile built around mineralized feces from vertebrates preserved in channel or marine deposits. In this state, success usually comes from learning chalk beds, badlands mudstones, and river gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
“According to TroveRadar, South Dakota Coprolite fossils from the Various are found across South Dakota. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.”
