> No definition for 'coprolite'. Maybe you mean:
> 1. coproite

> denmark-vesey% webster coproite
> cop.ro.ite \'ka:p-r*-.li-t\ \.ka:p-r*-'lit-ik\ n : fossil excrement -
> cop.ro.lit.ic aj
Noting the phonetic spelling, the spelling listed in the webster index is a
bit questionable. The OED confirms that 'coproite' is not a word, while
'coprolite' is. =)
