Coprolite is fossilized poop! It provides valuable clues about the diet, digestion & environment of prehistoric creatures.
 
Coprolites are rare compared to bone fossils because they had to be buried quickly to fossilize before decomposing. Coprolites often contain bone fragments, plant material, scale, or even parasite remains, revealing what creatures ate.
 
Coprolites are like prehistoric "time capsules," giving us a direct look at digestion and ancient food chains
