Dinosaurs

* Fossil hunters working on behalf of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum discover a large coprolite from a theropod dinosaur in Maastrichtian strata. In 1997 it is sent to coprolite specialist Karen Chin, who determines that this specimen of fossilized feces was attributable to "Tyrannosaurus rex". One year later, in 1998, Karen Chin and other publish a joint paper in "Nature" announcing the finding.
