Paleontologists have spent the better part of two decades debating whether Coelophysis ate its own kind. It turns out, the evidence that scientists have had to study in order to answer that question includes some of the strangest and grossest fossils that any expert would ever get to see.

Thanks to Fabrizio De Rossi and Studio 252mya for the Coelophysis illustration. You can find more of their work here: https://252mya.com/gallery/fabrizio-d...
