Beetle-bearing coprolites possibly reveal the diet of a Late Triassic dinosauriform [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Diets of extinct animals can be difficult to analyse if no direct evidence, such as gut contents, is preserved in association with body fossils. Inclusions from coprolites (fossil faeces), however, may also reflect the diet of the host animal and become ...

Soft-tissue specimens from pre-European extinct birds of New Zealand [PDF]
, 2012 We provide the first complete review of soft tissue remains from New Zealand birds that became extinct prior to European settlement (c. AD 1800). These rare specimens allow insights into the anatomy and appearance of the birds that are not attainable ...
