Parei-Poolia!

How many of you have heard the term pareidolia? It is a phenomena where our brains make out recognizable shapes in things like clouds, toast, cornflakes, ink blots, or even coprolites. This gallery is dedicated to coprolites (and rocks mistaken for coprolites) with recognizable images of things unrelated to poop or its inclusions. I hereby dub this parei-poolia!
