TroyB Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) While out on a walk about a couple years ago, we ran across these two nice tracks from Dimetrodon, in the carbonates. Kinda reminds me of a Freddy Krueger event. hehehe TroyB Edited May 25, 2016 by TroyB 4 Tankman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyB Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) positive they are Dimetrodon. He was the only thin clawed creature in this area at the time and there were lots of them. Also, Dr. Robert T. Bakker confirmed it. Thanks for the info, I will read these, very interesting. Edited May 25, 2016 by TroyB 3 Tankman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdp Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Definitely sphenacodontid. I agree probably Dimetrodon, but there are a few other contemporary candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
