At a shocking 20 centimeters (8 inches) long and 5 centimeters (2 inches) wide, this coprolite is the largest intact piece of ...

For that information, researchers often turn to another source: fossilized poop. Fossilized feces—also known as “coprolites”—can shed light on “the last day or two [of] behavior of an ...

NEW YORK — Using fossilized feces and vomit samples from Poland, scientists have reconstructed how dinosaurs came to dominate the Earth millions of years ago. Researchers aren’t sure whether ...

There are also colonites, food preserved in intestines, and perhaps the most popular of them all, coprolites, a.k.a. fossilized feces. Bicknell also studies ancient ocean predators, but with a ...

Although they may look like nothing more than pale rocks, these fossilized feces are treasure troves of genetic material, offering clues not only about the producer of the feces, but also about ...

Dinosaur footprints and worm burrows are examples of trace fossils, as are coprolites (fossilized dung or feces). In the kits, the coprolite (1), theropod track (17), and synapsid track (18) are trace ...

“We have space in the bathrooms!” And what do you exhibit in the bathroom of a park famous for its fossils? Fossilized feces, of course. A little fuzzy on the different eras of time, geologically ...

These remains, including bones, footprints and even fossilized feces, help the scientists to put together the puzzle of life millions of years ago. These fossils give important information about ...

Much of my work focuses on tapping information available in permineralized coprolites (fossil feces), but I also examine other trace and body fossils. My work focuses on understanding interactions ...
