Thomas Hämén sculpted coprolite from a dinosaur that lived about 140 million years ago to create a device for anal stimulation. Asstral Traveler: A sex toy to connect with “deep time”
From artist Thomas Hämén: "Connecting a sex toy with the faeces of an extinct animal humorously links the human interfaces for excrement and pleasure, with the vestigial experience – known but felt by no one – that dinosaurs once existed on earth."
A review of Abstract Sex, an exhibition that took place as part of Artissima 2019, and in which Asstral Traveler was included.

Well, there’s also museums with bigass displays of dinosaur bones, but no one except a geologist can get their rocks off there.
Personally, I grew up on a ranch covered in goddamn fossils of long-dead sea creatures, and if I had really wanted to viscerally feel the idea that they once existed, I could have shoved one up my ass.
But, I didn’t.

Thomas Hämén sculpted coprolite from a dinosaur
My brain helpfully added "a" after sculpted in this sentence. How deeply saddened I was to click through and see a bog-ass standard butt plug sculpted from. I mean, how are you supposed to really connect with deep time if the plug isn't shaped like a dinosaur turd? Truly, a missed opportunity.

For real. I read the comments and then read the links and then wished that someone had brought in these folks (probably very NSFW, especially if you are a dragon}.
