The term Coprolite is made of two Greek words (“kopro” meaning dung or feces, and “lite” meaning stone). Some specimens of coprolite has been sawed into halves and the contents observed.  Much has been learned about the possible diet of the animal. Many specimens of coprolite have been identified for fish, reptiles and mammals.  In some cases, it contains small bones, seeds, stems and other substances (all fossilized as well). It is probable that these are the fossilized droppings of a herbivore.
