Abstract: So-called trace fossils are traces that once-living animals have left behind them as a result of something they did. They include footprints and fossilized faeces or pellets (coprolites). One such coprolite is now described. From its large size and content, it can be reliably assigned to a very large carnivorous species of dinosaur — possibly evenTyrannosaurus rex.
