Hey Plantguy- The Arroyo Formation of the lower Permian is a wonderful place for the last breath of Dimetrodons who have reached the apex of their size. Look up Olsons Extinction Event; we're about to see it arrive very shortly at our site. The rich red beds are a blocky oxidized mudstone- but we also see lovely stream channel deposits of sandstones and conglomerates. Our site is remnants of an oxbow lake with fine grain silt, preserving the animals in incredible fashion. The mass burials of Dimetrodons accompanied by numerous amphibians and other reptiles offers a glimpse of a very healthy ecosystem represented by season after season after season of rains and droughts. We see a pretty healthy life and death scenario accentuated by bizarre mass die-offs which is the heart of our research. 

Thanks for the explanation and sharing the finds/journey. Much appreciated. Regards, Chris
