For this #ManospondylusMonday here’s my newest post about De la Beche’s “A Coprolitic Vision”, a pretty hilarious piece of satire that was actually among the very first pieces of paleoart, predating even Duria Antiquior: https://www.manospondylus.com/2023/05/was-first-piece-of-paleoart-shitpost.html?m=1
