Here goes the first paper… Feel free to ask me questions. 🙂
Bajdek, P., Szczygielski, T., Kapuścińska, A., and Sulej, T. in press. Bromalites from a turtle-dominated fossil assemblage from the Triassic of Poland. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2019.02.002
Highlights
• Studied coprolites provide information on a turtle-dominated Late Triassic ecosystem.
• Coprolites were produced by sharks, turtles, theropods, and a sizable herbivore.
• Carnivores fed predominantly on fish in this fluvial environment.
• The turtle Proterochersis porebensis was likely omnivorous and semiaquatic.
• Life habits of early turtles were similar to those typical of extant taxa.
