Detailed investigation of the assemblage by multiple visualization techniques (scanning electron microscopy, polarizing light microscopy, X-ray micro-computed tomography), quantitative morphometric analyses, and micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometry revealed a diverse composition of five different eggshell morphotypes (MT I-MT V) and three subcategories within the second morphotype (MT II/a, b, c), with MT I being by far the most abundant (83%) in the assemblage. MT I, MT III, and MT V represent theropod dinosaurian eggshells, whereas MT II and MT IV show characteristics of crocodilian and squamate eggshells, respectively. Hence, despite their fragmentary nature, these eggshells represent the first clear evidence that various sauropsid taxa had nesting sites near the ancient fluvial system of Iharkút. Besides the implied taxonomic diversity, two unique features add to the significance of this eggshell assemblage. First, it contains the thinnest rigid crocodilian (MT II/c) and squamate (MT IV) eggshells ever reported. Moreover, one of the identified theropod morphotypes, MT I, is also among the thinnest fossil dinosaurian eggshells, the thinness of which is only rivalled by the eggshells of the smallest Mesozoic avian eggs known to date. Second, the Iharkút eggshell assemblage consists exclusively of thin eggshells (≤300 μm), a condition unknown from any other fossil eggshell assemblages described to date. Combined with the knowledge acquired from skeletal remains, these peculiarities give additional insights into the paleoecology of the terrestrial sauropsid fauna once inhabiting the ancient island of Iharkút. Finally, the presence of well-preserved eggshells recovered from two different sites representing different depositional environments provides further evidence for previous taphonomic and sedimentological conclusions, and also expands our knowledge of the special conditions that allowed the preservation of these delicate eggshell fragments. © 2017 The Author(s).

In this study the mineral components, embedded dietary residues of these coprolites were examined and their ecological significance are discussed. The coprolite assemblage, containing mostly small-sized (length between 0.8 and 8.6 cm) specimens, can be ordered into seven different morphotypes, among which the spiral ones might have been produced by fish with spiral intestinal valves. The surface of the coprolites is mostly smooth and desiccation cracks were observed in only one case, suggesting that most of these coprolites were buried in-situ without long-term subaerial exposure. The fine-grained matrix of coprolites contains small holes, partially digested plant and animal residues but no sedimentary particles. CT-scanning was an effective method for revealing embedded dietary residues despite that the coprolites contain a large amount of pyrite. The coprolites contain cuticle remains, coalified seeds, pollen grains and diatoms. Animal residues may be the evidence of predation: mollusk shell and bone fragments, ganoid scales of Lepisosteiformes fish were frequent and one Pycnodontiformes fish tooth was found as well. It is not possible to ascertain the real producer of the coprolites, but, according to these remains, the Lepisosteiformes and Pycnodontiformes fish were included in the producer's prey. Not only the bone- but also the plant-bearing coprolites are highly phosphatic with mineral apatite in their matrix. However, the embedding fluvial sediment has significantly different chemical composition. The high phosphatic content of coprolites and the apatite might be derived from the carnivorous diet. Plant remains in the phosphatic coprolites may imply an omnivore producer or were the result of their incidental ingestion. Rapid burial and the mineral content of the animal nutriment might have been the responsible factors for the good preservation of the excrements.
