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...

Yes, such a difference between the different verts. 

These are fascinating animals, too. 

Thanks for sharing, great work. :)

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.

Aww. They would make perfect cuddlers. Plant eater and slow.

Looks like a good start.

How big did these critters get?

According to wikipedia they got 1.5 to 3 meters
