Oldest fossilized dinosaur vomit discovered in Germany

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Approximately 290 million years ago, a carnivorous dinosaur stomping around present-day Germany had a tummy ache. The Paleozoic predator eventually vomited up its stomach contents, and then hopefully continued to live its best dino life. Unlike most ancient regurgitated meals, this particular mixture of half-eaten prey and digestive bacteria successfully fossilized into what's known as a regurgitalite. In 2021, paleontologists discovered the extremely rare find while working in the famous Bromacker Permian dig site, about 155 miles southwest of Berlin.
