Dinosaur poop

Dinosaur poop            

Dinosaurs expelled waste, some of which fossilized into coprolites. 

Palaeontologists study these to learn about dinosaur diets and food chains. 

A notable coprolite, likely from T. rex, found in Canada, contains bone fragments, indicating powerful biting. Other coprolites show plant and decomposing wood remnants, suggesting varied diets.
