“#The largest-recorded dollop of human dung will blow your mind<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

You may not be able to stomach this colossal dollop of dung. <\/p>\n

The large, \u201cprecious\u201d poop<\/a> \u2014 officially known as the Lloyds Bank coprolite, the formal term for fossilized turds \u2014 is a 1,200-year-old log that is thought to be the largest recorded in human history. <\/p>\n

At 8 inches long and 2 inches wide, the specimen was discovered in York, in the United Kingdom, in 1972 in an area once ruled by Norse warriors. It was found beneath what would later become a local bank branch, according to Atlas Obscura<\/a>. The dung takes its name from the institution \u2014 Lloyds Bank.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The huge poo had another red-letter moment in 1991 when dung scientist Dr. Andrew Jones appraised the piece<\/a> in the name of insurance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the most exciting piece of excrement I\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d he told the Wall Street Journal at the time. \u201cIn its own way, it\u2019s as irreplaceable as the Crown Jewels.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paleoscatologists have been able to discern much from the girthy deposit, including that its producer ate mostly meat and bread was likely a Viking, lived in app<\/a>roximately the 9th century AD \u2014 and had a gut full of parasites. Indeed, the manure was found to be infested with Whipworm and Maw-worm eggs, suggesting the Viking often had an upset stomach and other gastrointestinal problems, Atlas Obscura wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Today, the log resides in a glass box at the Jorvik Viking Centre where, in 2003, visitors dropped it, breaking it into three pieces. It has since been repaired.<\/p>\n

The Centre is proud to call itself the turd\u2019s final resting place, even hosting a virtual workshop in February called \u201cPoo Day!<\/a>\u201d \u2014 in which fans learned about the dung\u2019s significance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to make your very own Viking poo during the livestream (adult supervision is strongly recommended!), you\u2019ll need a few ingredients to hand. We\u2019ll go through the \u2018method\u2019 during the livestream!\u201d the Centre advertised at the time.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
