Cretaceous - Opis:
- The Upper Cretaceous turbidite sandstones of the Godula Beds at Międzybrodzie Bialskie, Outer Western Carpathians, Poland, yielded a specimen here interpreted as a coprolite due to its elongated morphology and a high content of fragmented inoceramid shells. The coprolite was produced by a durophagous carnivore, which was most likely a teleost fish, or possibly a reptile. Coprolites are therefore confirmed to have a potential utility as aggregations of body fossils in macrofossil-poor sedimentary rocks, exemplified by the Godula Beds.
