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.

Below the sandstone we are finding our shark teeth and shark spines. Now below that, have we possibly found a whole layer of Eryops???
