Researchers believe that fossilized feces and vomit from dinosaurs are shedding light on how the ancient creatures evolved to become dominant on Earth. A recently published study analyzed hundreds of fossilized digestive materials from the Triassic period.

Paleontologists at the University of Uppsala in Sweden studied more than 500 pieces of fossilized dinosaur poop to find out how dinosaurs evolved.

Discover how fossilized poop, or coprolites, unveils fascinating insights into what dinosaurs ate 200 million years ago.

‘We found bones, teeth, fish scales, plant fragments, and even tiny beetles.’

Jurassic Park may have the tourists, but Triassic Toilet serves up the science. The inner lives of dinosaurs are revealed in Digestive contents and food webs record the advent of dinosaur supremacy, a study by Martin Qvarnström and others published in the journal Nature.

Scientists studied trace fossils called bromalites to reconstruct critical food webs in late Triassic, early Jurassic.

Feces, vomit, and fossilized food from inside stomachs have provided new clues into how dinosaurs rose to dominate Earth, a new scientific study revealed.

Scientists have charted how dinosaurs rose to prominence using a pretty unconventional method. They studied, in dirty detail, hundreds of samples of fossilized poop and vomit.
