Last summer, while spending a day with paleontologist Joe Peterson and his crew at the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry, I was lucky enough to find a dinosaur tooth. The shiny fossil had once fit into the mouth of a beaky herbivore called Camptosaurus, and, 150 million years later, was nothing more than an isolated crown. The tooth either broke off as the dinosaur fed, or snapped off the root sometime after the animal’s death.

About 220 million years ago, as we learn at a thoroughly entrancing new exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History, a fish caught a pterosaur, chewed it up and spit out the pieces. The expelled mass eventually fossilized, creating what is decorously called a “gastric pellet.” We see its cast here: a compact, egg-size mound of spindly, bent, broken and crushed sticks.
