experts even parse out what these pollen studies family

hundreds of millions of years ago, a group of feces, after a long history, it will become a valuable treasure. Recently, Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of experts to find the museum on the site of Tangshan two dark brown coprolites, which comes from the hyena, although related research being carried out, but experts say it is possible through these two coprolites, find Tangshan region hyena diet information, even through their food, to infer the distribution of plants and climate change in the region hundreds of millions of years ago.

paleontology experts Chenxiao Zheng introduced, scientists have discovered fossilized dung is a wide variety of colors, and after millions Cheap Nuggets Jerseys of years of time, not only did coprolites unpleasant taste, appearance has become "good" together, Some coprolites "crystallization" of Cheap Clippers Jerseys the minerals in the middle of glittering, some coprolites silicification, looks just as beautiful, "agate." Fossils in the international market, a small coprolites auction price of $ 1,000 for a fact and ordinary gems price almost.

reported that the coprolites found in Tangshan, size is very small, only about two centimeters, dark brown red, the middle has been crystallized. Since coprolites figure is very small, experts estimate that it may be time to leave the hyena. They are these two coprolites studied to see what these hyenas who ate the meal what.

This is not Cheap Bobcats Jerseys the first time that coprolites in the Tangshan region. Reporters learned Cheap Celtics Jerseys that, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing Museum, and experts have found a hole in Tangshan hunchback 26 hyena coprolites, and after the study, experts found that these coprolites contain pollen is relatively abundant, suggesting that consumption of Cheap Timberwolves Jerseys herbivorous mammals with After the pollen of plants, by hyenas hunting, feeding, digestion and excretion, pollen is better preserved in hyena dung, the formation of coprolites, become an integral part of the cave formations. According to the study, experts even parse out what these pollen studies family, genus, inferred hyena belongs to the era of life - Early Pleistocene vegetation in Nanjing is mainly grassland or forest - grassland, semi-arid climate dry or humid, and this Formation vertebrate groups reflect the natural environment of mutual confirmed.
