There's only one street in the whole world called Coprolite, and that's here in Ipswich. It's amazing they haven't named any other streets after fossilized poo. There was a factory on Coprolite Street established by a guy called Edward Packard, aka the Coprolite King, or the golden muck man of Ipswich.

Bison's living, and everything used to live around here is like a jungle place. Then obviously they all died. Yeah, really good fossils around here and also really good coprolites, right? That's why when you guys were doing the sound chick earlier, I went down to Coprolite Street, which is just down the road. Copperlight Street. James and I spoke about this ages ago.
