Abstract
Associated with abundant bones, teeth and osteoderms of the giant eusuchian Deinosuchus rugosus are larger concretionary masses of consistent form and composition. It is proposed that these are crocodylian coprolites, and further, based on their size and abundance, that these are coprolites of Deinosuchus. The associated coprolite assemblage also contains additional types that may come from smaller crocodylians, most likely species of the riverine/estuarine genus Borealosuchus, which is represented by bones, osteoderms and teeth in fossil collections from the same site.
