Re: paleonet Fossil Pellets from Ship

[Judith Harris <harrisj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Xavier,

What do you mean by "pellets"? Do you mean rodent, lagomorph, deer  
droppings, i.e. small coprolites? Or something completely different.  
Birds have pellets which come from their crop. There are many many of  
those in the fossil record but then birds aren't mammals.
