You are reading correctly. Fossilized worm shit.
While an exciting discovery, it's kinda gross, too.

Very interesting indeed due to the sheer age of them. Many Cambrian species are known only from such trace fossils as tracks, impressions and coprolites.
Looking forward to hearing more about it.

I was surprised to find out that there were any Cambrian scientists, much less that they are still around. |

Indeed! And why hasn't someone thought to bring these scientists into the Creation/Evolution debate? They ceratinly must have observed evolution first-hand, many times over!

I have quite a few coprolites in my rock collection. It isn't gross, they're no longer squishy.  |
