dinodigger Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Hey gang, here is a sneak peak at part of a new exhibit im installing at the museum. These are all Diadectes vertebrae that I finally have prepped. The width rib to rib of the largest caudal vertebrae at top left is about 7 inches. Lower Permian dectids had an absolutely massive tail with incredible muscle mass. Such a cool guy. Its amazing how much difference there is in his vertebrae from cervical to thoracic to lumbar etc... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Yes, such a difference between the different verts. These are fascinating animals, too. Thanks for sharing, great work. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTexan Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Very cool. Yes, they look like they’d be kind of cute if alive today, but a bit big for a house pet. That massive tail would probably wreck the furniture and house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Looks like a good start. How big did these critters get? Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
