minus-squareSterile_Technique@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down1·edit-28 months agoOh there’s plenty of good science I can think of! How many coprolites can be cut in two by a single motion of a guillotine blade? Does a coprolite puree make a viable fertilizer? How do coprolites hold up against extremes in temperature, pressure, or acceleration? Exposure to acids, bases, enzymatics, radiation? So much valuable data!
