摘要	This study examines 55 coprolites from the Na Duong Basin to reconstruct the paleoenvironment. Coproe-cology sheds light on understanding the complex prey-predator relationships, trophic dynamics, and ecosystem evolution. Through quantitative and multidisciplinary analysis, the putative coprolites were attributed to crocodilian producers, leading to the establishment of a new ichnogenus and species, Croc-ocopros naduongensis igen. et isp. nov., based on distinct characteristics and comparisons. The study pro-vides compelling evidence of an ancient river or lake-like environment dominated by diverse crocodilian fauna, indicating a thriving food chain in the Na Duong Basin. The findings also highlight the remarkable richness of ichnofauna, fauna, flora, and the presence of a favorable climate, confirming the area as a sig-nificant fossil Lagersta center dot tte in Southeast Asia. Overall, this study offers a unique snapshot of the past, providing valuable insights into the regional ecosystem and significantly contributing to our understand-ing of paleoenvironmental conditions and biotic interactions.
