Fossilised Dinosaur Dung

Science · Dinosaurs & Paleontology · conceptual

Describe what coprolites are (fossilised dinosaur dung) and how palaeontologists analyse them to discover what dinosaurs ate, including plant fragments, bones, and seeds

What mastery looks like

  • Define a coprolite as fossilised dung (animal droppings preserved as rock)
  • Explain that scientists cut coprolites open to find plant seeds, bone fragments, or fish scales inside
  • State one example of what coprolite contents reveal about a dinosaur's diet

Check your understanding

Does Fossilised Dinosaur Dung know what a coprolite is? Can they explain — with a giggle — how fossilised poo helps scientists figure out what a dinosaur ate?
