(I've worked as a paleontologist in other states that do not have California's fossil protection
Fossilized poop (#coprolites) 💩 are a treasure trove of paleoecological clues! In our new study led by Larissa Catafesta, we analyzed 97 coprolites from the Rio do Rasto Formation (middle/upper Permian, Paraná Basin, southern Brazil)—a formation rich in coprolites but rarely studied in detail.
