Depicted Animal

Dimetrodon grandis  (CASE, 1907)
3.2 M    275 MYA   

Systematics: Sphenacodontidae, «Pelycosauria», Synapsida, Reptilia
Habitat: terrestrial; coastal lowlands, flood plains

This is a reptilian grade tetrapod which as synapsid amniote (Theropsida) is more closely related to mammals than to «true reptiles» (Sauropsida). The genus was found in the Early Permian of the USA and Europe. Its most notable feature is the prominent sail on the back stretched by elongated spinal processes. Functional explanations for this structure are that it was used for temperature regulation and/or display during the mating season.
