Microscopic examinations indicated that the calculus developed in the ancient creature's gastrointestinal tract . However, due to the lack of skeleton remains, the team was unable to identify this Jurassic-era species.“Unless stomach stones are actually found preserved within a skeleton it is almost impossible to tell what sort of animal it might have formed inside,” noted Larkin.
The fossil record also confirms that even ancient marine creatures suffered from mineral stones, and not just the terrestrial ones.
