This study presents a fossil signature based on fractal dimension (FD) derived from computerized tomogra­phy (CT) images to differentiate between coprolites and body fossils. Coprolites are generally studied using destructive techniques like thin section study and geoche­mistry. Coprolites and body fossils collected from the Triassic terrestrial Gondwana deposits of India were chosen for the study. The presented CT-powered FD-based digital signature can properly distinguish coprolites from other fossils, without losing the structural features of the samples. The present study will further enhance the digitalized fossil research
