Researchers have turned to fossilized feces and vomit, known as bromalites, to reconstruct the early dinosaur food webs and understand their ecological roles.
'Bromalites often become the butt of jokes, but they preserve crucial clues about the ecology of the earliest dinosaurs,' said paleontologist Stephen Brusatte.
Determining how dinosaurs achieved worldwide domination has been difficult due to scarce fossil evidence, making bromalites valuable for revealing predator-prey dynamics.
Exploring bromalites allows scientists to pinpoint ancient dietary habits and ecological interactions, shedding light on the dominance of dinosaurs in early ecosystems.
