Based on the formation in which this was found, it was produced between 208 and 228 million years ago. Although no inclusions are visible, it's phosphatic composition tells us it came from a carnivore.  Perhaps as more is learned about coprolites, this specimen's intestinal details, size and shape may help narrow down the species that may have produced it.
