Some people think that the development of guts capable of producing
pelleted poo was a major geochemical event, with the high mass of coprolites and
their high organic content acting in synergy to remove carbon from the
atmosphere and biosphere, helping O2 levels to climb around the start of the
Phanerozoic (reasonably well accepted, these days), and so enabling the
development of new, more complex body plans.

As, for instance, that of the Hummer H2, which feeds on the distilled
essence
of that same poo.
