Thanks to everyone who provided references and links to fish coprolites. Although I was not the originator of the question, it was an area of my work that I lacked information on. Now for the next logical question; Are there any reference to crocodilid coprolites? Clearly, crocs inhabited many of the same (paleo) environments and yet there appears to be no mention of their scat in the literature. Or am I wrong? If so, please enlighten me. Thanks in advance!

Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom?
