Researchers believe that fossilized feces and vomit from dinosaurs are shedding light on how the ancient creatures evolved to become dominant on Earth. A recently published study analyzed hundreds of fossilized digestive materials from the Triassic period.

The way the dinosaurs relinquished their long dominance is well known. An asteroid struck Earth 66 million years ago, triggering a horrific mass extinction. But the way the dinosaurs - modest creatures initially - came to supremacy is less well understood.

Feces, vomit and fossilized food from inside stomachs have provided new clues into how dinosaurs rose to dominate Earth, a new study revealed on Wednesday.

A study recently published in the journal Nature sheds new light on how dinosaurs rose to dominance during the Triassic Period, around 200 million years ago. The research team, led by Dr. Martin Qvarnström,

Discover how fossilized poop, or coprolites, unveils fascinating insights into what dinosaurs ate 200 million years ago.

Scientists have charted how dinosaurs rose to prominence using a pretty unconventional method. They studied, in dirty detail, hundreds of samples of fossilized poop and vomit.

When the Earth's climate changed millions of years ago, dinosaurs were more adaptable to new food sources than their picky non-dinosaur neighbors, researchers say.

Using fossilized feces and vomit samples from Poland, scientists have reconstructed how dinosaurs came to dominate the Earth millions of years ago. Researchers aren't sure whether dinosaurs' rise over the course of 30 million years happened because of luck,

Studying bromalites helped paleontologists piece together how the reptiles came to rule a part of the prehistoric world.

Coprolites—fossilized feces—from the Jurassic hold traces of past meals. These deposits left by a herbivorous dinosaur preserved bits of plant matter.
