Here’s a pelycosaur appendicular bone I acquired from a vendor well-acquainted with Permian material a while back. It was sold to me only as Dimetrodon limbatus from the Archer City Formation in Texas. Thing is, I’ve never been able to place exactly what bone it is, and it doesn’t seem to match any appendicular elements of Dimetrodon which I could find references for. Here’s to the hope that there’s somebody here well-acquainted with this material who can put me on the right track!

ID requested: lower permian vertebrate fauna from Texas red beds & Waurika
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi! I recently acquired a few new additions to my permian collection, but there are a few pieces of which I am not a 100 % whether they are ID'd correctly, simply because I am not yet knowlegdeable about the material. So I thought it might be a good idea to post the ones I am doubtfull about here, as I know there are a lot of people more knowlegdeable than me who probably could ID them. The first item is a small claw listed as "juvenile dimetrodon limbatus" from the Red Beds, Archer County, Texas, USA I was a bit doubtfull when they said "juvenile" dimetrodon claw, but I got it anyway because it's a very nice permian claw which was an okay price regardless the ID. The second item is a caudal vertebra that was listed as "Edaphosaurus" (from the Archer City Formation, Red Beds, Archer County, Texas, USA) which came as a set along with a piece of sail spine which without doubt belongs to Edaphosaurus. The last items were sold as a collection of "Eryops megacephalus" fossils from the Wellington garbar complex, Waurika, Okhlahoma. From left to right are a piece of skull plate, a toe bone, a piece of dermal armor and a tooth.- 5 replies
