Regurgitalites or sometimes Regurgitaliths[1][2] are the fossilized remains of stomach contents that have been regurgitated by an animal, such as a owl pellet. They are bromalite trace fossils and can be subdivided into ichnotaxa. Regurgitaliths might provide useful information on the diet of the animal,[3] but are difficult to relate to any particular species.[citation needed]
