| Lineage | Pellets were collected and analysed every 3 to 5 days over a period of 28 days (24 July to 21 August 2015). During each visit, only fresh pellets were collected randomly within an area of 4 sqm. The pellets were left to defrost at ambient temperature for one day, followed by 24 h in a warm (23 C), dry room for drying before analysis. Each pellet was analysed separately and dissected with tweezers. The excel file comprises of three worksheets. The first is about the pellet content volume which was inspected with the naked eye to separate classify and quantify the different elements. The second worksheet provides information on the types of inorganic materials found in the pellets. The last worksheet describes the variety of remains found in the pellets.
