Coprolites of Late Miocene Seals of Eastern Paratethys (Crimean–Caucasian Region)

Over 100 coprolites attributed to seals from Late Miocene localities of the Crimean-Caucasian region were examined and described using X-ray computed tomography, scanning and light microscopy, as well as morphological analysis. Three coprolite morphotypes were identified, which may correspond to three different-sized forms of seals.

Abstract

Over 100 coprolites attributed to seals from Late Miocene localities of the Crimean-Caucasian region were examined and described using X-ray computed tomography, scanning and light microscopy, as well as morphological analysis. Three coprolite morphotypes were identified, which may correspond to three different-sized forms of seals.
