Just found out about this 19th century dude called Gideon Mantell who was a massive geology and fossil nerd and he discovered loads about dinosaurs in his career, and he dug up the first ever Iguanodon fossils in the woods in my hometown, and then George IV found out and wrote him a letter about how he was an actual bro and pre-ordered four copies of Mantell’s book about the geology of Sussex he was writing. (This was all in his spare time. His day job was doctor and occasional midwife).
oh my god does anyone understand how relevant to my interests this is
WHEN INTERESTS COLLIDE
I have a new hero to add to the list
Wheeeeeeeee~
