| gastrolith |
Gastroliths (stomach stones or gizzard stones) are rocks which are or have been held inside the digestive tract of an animal. Among living vertebrates, gastroliths are common among herbivorous birds, crocodiles, and seals. Some extinct animals, such as bird-like theropod dinosaurs, appear to have used them to grind tough plant matter. Gastroliths do only rarely occur in sauropod dinosaurs and a trituration of their food with the stones is not plausible. ...

| gastrolith |
a stone deliberately swallowed by an organism (usually a herbivore, or an herbivore if east of the Azores) and retained in the gut to cut and crush bulk food items. Many organisms exercise great selectivity in selecting gastroliths of the right size, shape and composition. When gastroliths are worn smooth, they are sometimes regurgitated. Presumably long-necked forms, like sauropods, got their rocks off in some other manner.
