Fossilized feces, termed coprolites, provide unique information on digestive systems, diets,
and ecosystems of extinct animals, and are potentially useful for palynology, biostratigraphy …

Buckland introduced the term coprolite for fossil excrement. During the last 50 years, an
increasing number of workers have discussed the terminology of coprolites and associated …

Fossilized faeces (bromalites) are common in the geological record and have been
recognized for centuries, first for their peculiarity and later for sedimentological and …

The history of study of vertebrate coprolites can be divided into four phases:(1) 1800-1890–
initial studies;(2) 1890-1910–first bloom;(3) 1910-1950–intermittent work;(4) 1950-1990 …

Coprolites from the Rhaetian bone beds in south-west England can be assigned to
crustaceans and fishes. Here, we report crustacean microcoprolites, including …

Carnivorous scat and herbivorous dung are so chemically labile and, in general, physically
fragile, that they face a race between disintegration and preservation, and disintegration …

Although the concept of ichnology as a single coherent field arose in the nineteenth century,
the endeavor of understanding traces is old as civilization and involved cultural areas …

Vertebrate and invertebrate ichnology have different traditions—the ethological and the
biotaxonomic—resulting in corresponding ethoichnofacies and biotaxonichnofacies …

Abstract A single, low-density (1.58 g/cm3), phosphatic coprolite recovered from a fluvial
Triceratops site in the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation of eastern Montana contains …

Regurgitalites (fossilized regurgitates) can provide insight into the behavioral ecology and
physiology of extinct species but they are rarely reported because they are difficult to identify …
