paleonet More light relief (Palaeo. relevant this time!)



Would you like to live here?

I took this photo in my home town of Ipswich, Suffolk, UK 
(not a great tourist advert!).

Coprolite Street is located in the dock area of Ipswich.  
The reason for its name was provided to me by 
Mark Jay at Ipswich Building Control, and relates to the 
coprolite that was shipped into the area, to be processed 
in the nearby fertiliser plants.
