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

Abstract Burgess‐Shale‐type (BST) faunas have proven critical for map** the Cambrian
assembly of animal‐dominated ecosystems, but have so far only been reported from fully …

Trace fossils can illustrate important palaeobiological interactions within a fossil assemblage
that body fossils do not record. A group of trace fossils that showcase feeding ecology, and …

Fecal pellets are key components of the biological carbon pump and a source of nutrients.
When cohesively bound and cemented, they become the most abundant non-skeletal grains …

Evidence of successful predation or scavenging in the fossil record represents important
palaeobiological data to more thoroughly understanding extinct ecosystems. Shelly …

Drilling predation is a common reason for mortality of benthic mollusks but did not become
common until the late Mesozoic. The scarcity of drill holes in the early Mesozoic fossil record …

This study examines 55 coprolites from the Na Duong Basin to reconstruct the
paleoenvironment. Coproecology sheds light on understanding the complex prey-predator …

New finds of remarkable coprolites (fossilized feces) are here reported from the famous
Miocene marine sediments of the Chesapeake Group exposed along Calvert Cliffs …

Recent investigations of the upper Oligocene Sub-Numidian Claystone (Numidian
Formation) in the Ouarsenis Mountains of the Tell Atlas in northwestern Algeria have …

Trilobites with malformations present important insight into the paleoecology of the wholly
extinct arthropod group. This includes records of failed predation, developmental …
