Regurgitalite

Regurgitalites or sometimes Regurgitaliths^[1]^[2] are the fossilized remains of stomach contents that have been regurgitated by an animal, such as a owl pellet. They are bromalite trace fossils and can be subdivided into ichnotaxa. Regurgitaliths might provide useful information on the diet of the animal,^[3] but are difficult to relate to any particular species.^{[citation needed]}
