TroyB Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hi all, don't know if this has been seen or not, but here it is. We found an articulated Dimetrodon skeleton complete, on the last dig in north central Texas. Here is a link to the Paleo Blog from the museum about it. http://blog.hmns.org/?p=8243 TroyB Tankman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Fine fossil find!! I did not know their teeth were so big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Fantastic!.... I think the use of video is a great idea, you get much more from it than just looking at photos and the excitement and importance of the find comes across... :Thumbs Up: Edited December 9, 2010 by Terry Dactyll Cheers Steve...

Xiphactinus Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Way cool! I've always loved that freaky Permian stuff. It's awesome naming it in honor of Williston too. He paved the way for so much that we know today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyB Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Wow! That's impressive! Will it eventually be on display in Houston? Should be, I hear they are going to have a permian environment in the new paleo hall of the museum in 2012. They are going to display all the finds in there. It's going to be big.

TroyB Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Fine fossil find!! I did not know their teeth were so big! I've seen the killing fang (Canine) with roots 3 inches long, come from that layer. TroyB Tankman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
