In order to achieve this, we compared the microbiota found in the cores and cortices of coprolites from both cultures using NGS. (journals.plos.org)
«We have so far only seen the top of the iceberg» says PhD student Martin Qvarnström, first author of the study; «The next step will be to analyze all types of coprolites from the same fossil locality in order to work out who ate what (or whom) and understand the interactions within the ecosystem».
