“…In this sample, some specimens have superficial traces that are described below. Previous contributions have mentioned and/or figured specimens from the same locality at Peir opolis (i.e., "Ponto 1 do Price"), that were referred to as "coprolites" (e.g., Carvalho, Ribeiro & Avilla, 2004;Francischini et al, 2014;Oliveira, 2013;Ribeiro, Carvalho, & Neto 2014;Ribeiro et al, 2012;Salgado & Carvalho, 2008;Souto, 2008;Souto & Fernandes, 2015), but with exception of Francischini et al (2014), none of these authors mentioned external traces. Selections of these earlier records, together with recent finds, are here studied in detail and are referred to as pseudoecoprolites (see below).…”
