Poozeum
The Poozeum is a museum in Williams, Arizona, United States, dedicated to coprolites (fossilized feces). It was founded in 2014 as a website and resource center by George Frandsen, who owns the world's largest collection of coprolites. Pieces from Frandsen's collection served as a traveling exhibition before the Poozeum opened its physical location in 2024.
The Poozeum includes 8,000 coprolites, including Barnum, the largest coprolite by a carnivore to have been discovered, a 9.28 kg (20.5 lb) specimen believed to be from a Tyrannosaurus rex.
