Reptile Bones From Richard's Spur Quarry (ID?)

[DarasFossils]

Hello, I am going to purchase this lot that is from Richard's Spur Quarry and I was wondering if anyone on here knows how to ID fossils better than me. I've been looking at pictures all day but can't seem to confidently ID anything. I know most of these are probably Captorhinus, but are there any in this lot that look like a different species or a synapsid such as Varanops? Been searching for synapsid fossils forever and I really hope one of these is from a synapsid. There's 3 claws, 3 vertebrate, and 4 jaw sections. Don't be afraid to hurt my feelings if they all are Captorhinus, I think they're super cool too!

Thank you! Sorry the pictures are crappy, I haven't gotten them yet so this is all I have.

Hard to tell with the current pictures, although Captorhinus is indeed the most common species there so some material probably belongs to that species. 
I have an ID book of richards spur so if you recieve your fossils and post them here in higher quality I might be able to help you out!

Thank you, will do! Really excited to receive them and just crossing my fingers there's some more unique stuff mixed in! Do you know where I can buy that book? Sounds interesting!

It's always a joy to get your hands on some good permian material. 
Unfortunately the book is no longer in being sold/printed, I was very lucky to get original pre printed version from the writer.

Not all the tooth-bearing bones are Captorhinus. I see at least one fragment of Opisthodontosaurus carrolli (bottom left), something that might be temnospondyl or parareptile (third row down, left). The premaxilla is also probably not Captorhinus, but it's hard to tell with photo quality. Couldn't say about the postcrania, although the caudal vertebra looks varanopid, maybe Mesenosaurus.

Thank you so much, this is really helpful! I would totally freak out if one was from a temnospondyl!! I'll post better pictures once I receive them.

Unfortunately not, I'm going to Tucson this January so I think I will ask there again. I briefly got to ask some people from the Texas Red Beds about some other similar fossils but I didn't have enough time to ask them about this lot.
