The huge excrement was discovered on a private ranch near the city of Buffalo, South Dakota, in the summer of 2019. Known as "Barnum" after paleontologist Barnum Brown, who discovered the first remains of a Tyrannosaurus rex in 1902, It is owned by collector George Frandsen, the largest collector of these fossilized poop in the world.
