Fossil gut reveals 101-million-year-old dinosaur gulped plants and let bacteria digest them
SMRTR summary
Fossilized plant remains found in a 101-million-year-old sauropod dinosaur's stomach provide the first direct evidence of their diet. The discovery reveals that Diamantinasaurus consumed a variety of plants without chewing, relying on gut bacteria for digestion. This supports theories that sauropods were bulk feeders, swallowing large amounts of vegetation whole and using fermentation to break it down.
