    Fossilt bajs ger ledtrådar till dinosauriernas framgångssaga

    Forskare vid Uppsala universitet har i ett internationellt samarbete kunnat identifiera osmälta matrester, växter och bytesdjur i dinosauriers fossiliserade avföring. Dessa analyser av hundratals prover ger ledtrådar om vilken roll dinosaurierna spelade i ekosystemet för ungefär 200 miljoner år sedan. Resultaten har publicerats i tidskriften Nature.

    Fossil dung reveals clues to dinosaur success story

    In an international collaboration, researchers at Uppsala University have been able to identify undigested food remains, plants and prey in the fossilised faeces of dinosaurs. These analyses of hundreds of samples provide clues about the role dinosaurs played in the ecosystem around 200 million years ago. The findings have been published in the journal Nature.
