George Frandsen’s Poozeum in Arizona features nearly 10,000 coprolites – fossilized feces originating in Earth’s distant past
Insights into “the diets, behaviors and environment of ancient creatures” that are available in their fossilized droppings motivated one US man to not only amass the world’s largest collection of such specimens – but also to quit his corporate career and open a so-called Poozeum, as he recounts in a newfor largest collection of coprolites since 2015 – recounted how the journey to his unique place on the global stage began when he visited a rock and fossil shop in Utah when he was 18.
But that was only the last time the number of pieces in his collection had been officially counted. Since then, as Guinness noted, Frandsen said he has added “a whopping 8,000 pieces”. Frandsen finally resigned from the healthcare company executive job that he had worked for 14 years, sold his house in Florida and moved 2,000 miles to Williams, Arizona.
