NEW YORK (AP) -- A pile of dinosaur dung 130 million years old sold at a New York auction Wednesday for nearly $1,000.
The fossilized dung looks like a rock on the outside and a colorful mineral inside
The prehistoric deposit fetched $960, said a spokeswoman for Bonhams New York.
Its pre-auction estimate was $450.
The fossilized dung is from the Jura**ic era, the auction house said.
It looks like a rock on the outside and a colorful mineral inside.
The buyer was Steve Tsengas of Fairport Harbor, Ohio.
The 71-year-old owns OurPets, a company that sells products to treat dog and cat waste.
Tsengas bought the dung in hopes of motivating his employees and using it as a marketing tool by displaying it at the company's booth at trade shows, he said.
"Poop," he said, "is a big business in the pet industry."
