Do moose droppings petrify and are they rare?

In: Moose, Plural Nouns [Edit categories]

Answer:

In geology, petrifaction, petrification or silicification is the process by which organic material is converted into stone by impregnation with silica. It is a rare form of fossilization. Petrified wood is the most well known result of this process, but all organisms from bacteria to vertebrates can be petrified.

So it is therefore possible for moose droppings to petrify but unfortunately geologists the world over are still looking for the first examples of petrified moose poo.
