N2 - A collection of coprolites found in the Danian (Lower Paleocene) limestone of Faxe Quarry, Denmark,is described and attributed to the respective producers. Small, drop-like specimens with weak signs of spiral coilingare attributed to fish. Larger, heteropolar, spirally-coiled specimens are attributed to sharks, and large, cylindricalcoprolites with longitudinal striations on the surface are identified as crocodile coprolites. Fish and sharks areknown from abundant finds of otoliths and teeth in Faxe Quarry, and crocodiles are known from finds of singlebones and teeth.
