Examples of coprolites identified in the Denisova Cave microstratigraphic record (see Table 1 for coprolite descriptions). (ac) Type CT-1 originating from cave hyena occurs through much of the sampled sequence; (df) Type CT-2 has a much darker matrix, possibly related to wolf; (g,h) Type CT-3 is highly weathered; (i) Type CT-4 has a distinctive red matrix. Types CT-3 and CT-4 cannot be linked to specific animals. Scale bars: red, 800 µm; green, 500 µm; yellow, 1 mm; blue, 2 mm.
