Exceptionally well-preserved crocodilian coprolites from the Late Eocene of Northern Vietnam (Na Duong Formation) and their coproecological implications
Abstract:Reconstructing the paleoenvironment of Na Duong Basin by using coproecology is significant in understanding the intensive prey-predator relationships, the tropic relationship and the ecosystem evolution within the paleo-locality. A total of 55 measurable coprolites (IVPP V 27941/1 till IVPP V 27491/55) and numerous coprolite fragments from Na Duong fossil site were examined in this study. The putative coprolites were assigned to a crocodilian producer. Ichnosystematic studies further erected a new ichnogenus a… Show more
