Carnivorous Mammal Coprolites

These mammal coprolites resemble (in size and shape) something you might find in a cat box.    Because of their phosphatic composition and bone inclusions we know they are from a meat eater.

Want to see what was eaten? The fecal matter was removed around some of the inclusions on some of the coprolite fragments. Each was like a little field jacket, preserving tiny inclusions that might not have otherwise survived the fossilization process!
