Coprolites as Proxies for Paleoparasitology at Pilauco

Pilauco: A Late Pleistocene Archaeo-paleontological Site, 2019
Coprolites are trace fossils. One of the ways to determine the presence of coprolites is to determine the presence of parasites in them. The four coprolites analysed here were collected in situ from the fossil-bearing layer PB-8. The paleoparasitological analyses were performed in two steps, the first is to confirm the classification of the sampled ...
