B. 2021: Morphological and compositional analyses of coprolites from the Upper Cretaceous Bauru Group reveal dietary habits of notosuchian fauna. Lethaia, /10. 1111/let.12431. The fluvial deposits of the Adamantina Formation (Upper Cretaceous, Bauru Group) have produced a rich fossil vertebrate record of fishes, amphibians, lizards, snakes, tur- tles, dinosaurs and mammals. However, the record of notosuchians (Crocodylomor- pha) is remarkable in terms of both diversity and number of findings. Here, we report a large number of new coprolites found in association with skeletons of crocodylo- morphs from the Adamantina Formation in the cities of Jales and Fernandópolis, São Paulo State, Brazil, and discuss their meaning for the understanding of feeding habits of their producers. The coprolites from Jales were found mostly together with adult
