BonuFrailman Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Good afternoon! I saw these bones on “our favorite auction site” identified as diplocaulus. The bones are from The Wellington Garber complex FM in Oklahoma. Please advise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I think so, but obviously a small one.

jdp Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 About half of that is diplocaulid. Some of the remaining material could be diplocaulid but is just not distinctive. A few things are really obviously not diplocaulid...the plate in the first picture is obviously not, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I’ve seen this sellers bits and bobs. I think they are honest, but I’m not sure they really put a ton of research into their IDs. I’d get them (if I was to get them) for what they are certainly, Permian bones. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
