If paleontologists in 120 millions years could correlate a bunch of corporolites(fossilized shit) and yours was among them, you quite literally would be revealing a lot of data around the type of food your species ate but also what plant life was available at the time
- Razengan 1y agoBut like, if, 120 million years from now, there is no life that has an analogue to poop, would they be able to guess that the coprolites they discovered were the waste products of a lifeform? Why couldn't it just be the remains of the body parts of ancient life? Like what if oil/petroleum is actually the poop of ancient lifeforms, but we assume it's the remains of the lifeforms themselves.
