Abstract
⺠We recognise 5 morphotypes of Late Permian bone-bearing coprolites. ⺠The coprolites are linked to carnivores in the Tropidostoma Assemblage Zone. ⺠Histology of the bone inclusions shows perinatal and juvenile bones are common. ⺠Two tissue types show dicynodonts and parareptiles as most common prey. ⺠Some coprolites contain enigmatic hair-like structures.
