English term or phrase: brine shrimp *poop*
The nucleus of this sand is
brine shrimp "poop" surrounded by minerals.

Este vorba despre nisipul din jurul Marelui Lac Sărat (Great Salt Lake, Utah).

Poate fi vorba despre *excremente fosilizate* ale acestui tip de crustaceu?

Mulţumesc

reziduuri organice


Explanation:
Cred că s-ar mai putea zice și reziduuri organice ale acelui tip de crustaceu, deși excremente fosilizate ar fi cam același lucru.

excrementele crevetelui cunoscut ca "Sea Monkey"


Explanation:
denumirea oficiala si stiintifica a materiilor cu pricina este "faeces"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feces
Un material pur stiintific utlizeaza cuvantul potrivit :)
"poop" este cuvantul folosit de copii pentru aceeasi pe romaneste, deci denumirea populara - de unde si "excrement" ,"rahatel" sau chiar si "caca" ( care e traducerea exacta a cuvantului "poop")
ton in ton
"brine shrimp" in denumirea populara si comerciala este" sea-monkeys"
"sea monkeys" s-a pastrat ca denumire in mai multe limbi

acum depinde si cat se "stiintific este filmul"

Reference information:
You got in the WATER???? Eww.

The smell isn’t from animals who drank the water, the animals know better than to drink the water. The smell is from all the dead brine flies and brine shrimp. And the sand? Petrified Brine Shrimp poop. I kid you not. Did you notice how it was perfectly round? I have arguements with people all the time about this, but beach sand isn’t round, it’s got edges because it’s crystal and rock. GSL sand is spherical. Because it’s poop.

An oolite has a shell of concentric layers of calcium carbonate that precipitated around a nucleus or central core. The nucleus is usually a tiny brine shrimp fecal pellet or a mineral fragment. Oolites form in shallow, wave-agitated water, rolling along the lake bottom and gradually accumulating more and more layers.
