Fossilized soft tissues of animals (eg muscles, hair and feathers) are valuable sources of
palaeobiological information, but a poor preservation potential makes them undesirably …

There is a long tradition of indirectly inferring feeding in fossil and Recent vertebrates from
the functional morphology of bones and teeth. However, some trace fossils provide direct …

Coprolites (fossil faeces) provide direct evidence on the diet of its producer and unique
insights on ancient food webs and ecosystems. We describe the contents of seven …

Coprolites (fossil feces) provide important paleoecological information, such as diet of the
producer, parasite infestation and gut microbiota, which cannot be accessed through body …

Vertebrate coprolites and Recent feces display a wide range of morphological variation. A
relatively small number of authors have explicitly addressed the terminology used to …

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 …

Diets of extinct animals can be difficult to analyse if no direct evidence, such as gut contents,
is preserved in association with body fossils. Inclusions from coprolites (fossil faeces) …

Vertebrate coprolites derived from Upper Triassic terrestrial deposits of southern Poland
have been subjected to various analytical methods in order to retrieve information about …

Fossil oral ejecta that exclusively contain bivalved calcitic lower jaws of ammonites (=
aptychi) from Late Jurassic Solnhofen-type deposits of southern Germany are described …

An association of eighteen coprolites (specimens 01–18) and one isolated coprolite
(specimen 209,210) were found in a vertebrate fossil-rich paleosol at the Gratkorn site …
