This large coprolite was found on the beach at Lyme Regis in 2024, and contains a fish spine with multiple vertebrae and a pectoral fin, as well as multiple fish scales. This shows that the creature was eating predominantly fish in the Jurassic oceans. This Coprolite most likely comes from a marine reptile - either ichthyosaur or plesiosaur. Coprolites are fossilised faeces and have improved palaeontologist’s understanding on the lives of marine reptiles by studying what they ate. Approximately 195 million years old.
Fossil dimensions: 50mm x 45mm
