[quote]Researchers have conducted what could be the largest study ever of dinosaur poop. The findings shed new light on how dinosaurs' diets allowed them to dominate the planet. The analysis of hundreds of fossilized droppings (plus a little bit of petrified vomit) from roughly 230 million years ago shows that dinosaurs persevered because they were not picky eaters.
[quote]"The first dinosaur ancestors were opportunistic," says Martin Qvarnström, a paleontologist at Uppsala University in Sweden, who led the study. "They were eating insects, fish, plants – everything that they came across." Ultimately, he says, over millions of years, that dietary flexibility allowed them to rule the Earth.
