Investigating a Devonian vertebrate assemblage with synchrotron microtomography of coprolites
Abstract Fossilised faeces (coprolites) are a unique source of information as they record palaeontological evidence of animal behaviour (autecology) as well as interactions between extinct organisms and their environment (synecology). Four samples bearing coprolites found in a ne...
