Greetings fellow fossil lovers!

 

Below is an assortment of fossils from the Waurika clay from the Lower Permian that I'm having trouble placing an id on. Scale bar is in millimeters. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks All!

Jacob

Timely!  I just purchased a bunch of this matrix and am having the same difficulty. 

 

There is a book for sale on this fauna that I've seen for sale from the UK of all places.  I can't post the link here, but if you PM me, I can send you the link that way.

Ilium, probably from a temnospondyl. Could be Trimerorhachis.

Ungual (claw) from a synapsid. I think this is from a sphenacodontid e.g. Dimetrodon.
