Description
Origin: Besiboko, Mahajanga in Madagascar.

Period: Cenozoic (Eocene), about 40-50 million years old, after the age of the dinosaurs
Coprolites are quite rare because they tend to decay rapidly, but when they are found, they are most commonly found among sea organisms.
Analyzing coprolites, it is possible to infer the diet of the animal which produced them.
Coprolites are composed of pulverized indigestible remnants of the organism's food, such as portions of scales, bones, teeth or shells.
