Three coprolites from early Kimmeridgian intertidal deposits of Poland that contain many foraminifera and were likely produced by pterosaurs
MUZ PGI 1663.II.15a: Coprolite containing over 100 foraminifera, small shells and bristles. Likely produced by a ctenochasmatid pterosaur.
MUZ PGI 1663.II.15b: Coprolite containing foraminifera, small shells and many polychaete bristles. Likely produced by a ctenochasmatid pterosaur.
MUZ PGI 1663.II.15c: Coprolite containing foraminifera and other small inclusions. Likely produced by a ctenochasmatid pterosaur.
