Was it completely covered with rattail-like scales, which are found on the impressions of its abdomen and tail?
So, how does it feel to the touch?

Would Ophiacodon's favorite song be "Orinoco Flow"?
>cool and interesting thread about the skin of fully terrestrial animals that came before both reptiles and mammals, and were some of the first megafauna on land
>immediately derailed by low effort bait and retarded fishmen
>which are found on the impressions of its abdomen and tail
The fuck are you talking about? We don't have any skin impressions from Dimetrodon.
He's just got it confused with one of the other synapsids it's skin is based off
That's what I figured. Sounds like Archaeothyris.
>that seething geriatric trying to make "Paleontology Fans" into a thing
We've talked about this already. You're not funny, and that's the real travesty of your posts. Smarmy autist humor just doesn't work.
We haven't talked about anything. How's your deviantart account coming along? Got many followers for your headcanons?
>You're not funny
we're laughing at you, you fucking idiot.
You shouldn't. Me? I'd rather laugh at an old man who posts selfies in a paleo thread like a teenage girl.
There are no selfies itt mate. I think you're the dementia patient here.
I didn't say in THIS thread now though did I?
>has no defends
>starts bringing in shit from OTHER threads in a flailing attempt to deflect
You're a pathetic Palaeontology Fan and the reason why you don't think I (and whoever else you believe I am) is funny is because you are the joke we're laughing at.
Go back to deviantart.
It's only fair you get to laugh at me sometimes
I think you're the funniest thing I've seen on Wauf in years.
Am I now? The really funny thing here is that I'm not even the poster you think I am. I hope your powers of deduction are stronger when you're actually doing your scientific research.
>I'm not even the poster you think I am
which poster do you think I think you are?
The one you call "paleo-schizo" even though he's RIGHT about 90% of the things he posts.
well protip for you then
the old paleontologist is not the anon trying to make "Palaeontology Fan" a thing.
I use American English, we spell things differently here.
In the nearby thread, we unraveled his secret:
Most likely you're talking with a toddler who has a lot of free time because of the summer holidays.
I like the depictions of it looking more mammalian, with the whiskers and things. I also like the deep seething those depictions give Palaeontology Fans.
And that's the whole nature of glowies. Subvert a random thing for no reason or basis, just to "brake the old patriarchal foundations." Miserable sick creatures who hate literally everything, themselves included.
They're not glowmorons. They're just spoiled brats that need to be punched in the face.
The 1990s. And this is unironically how a lot of college educated millennial and zoomer retards act. Now you know why shit so fucked up.
>And even when proven otherwise, just ignored.
Lol Now you're thinking like a feathergay!
It's a lot earlier, but it's a different line of animals.
You're such a retarded bitch. Your mother must be deeply ashamed.
I am "paleoschizo". And I gladly wear the title. Being called a schizo is the ultimate badge of honor in this age of universal lies.
So I'm confused now. When did science stop being about discovering the truth and start being about making people mad?
I love how you go from
>this makes me mad
>people laugh at me when I'm mad
to
>those people are scientists
>they're trying to make me mad
you're legit retarded. An absolute imbecile.
Palaeontology Fans get mad when the truth is/may be something they disagree with. No one can stop them from getting mad, so one might as well enjoy the show.
Was Dimetrodon more primitive than modern crocodilians?
- Dimetrodon was cold-blooded (crocodile is secondarily cold-blooded).
- Crocodile is capable of a full sagittal gait - Dimetrodon is not.
- Crocodile's shoulder girdle is more developed and more flexible.
- Dimetrodon and crocodile brains have roughly the same structure.
- Dimetrodon has the rudiments of mammalian tooth differentiation (only rudiments), while the crocodile has a fully developed archosaurian dentition.
By all indications, the crocodile is a more progressive animal in comparison with Dimetrodon, despite its conservatism.
>(crocodile is secondarily cold-blooded)
My favorite part of modern paleosoience is literally just making shit up and confidently stating it as fact.
dimetrodons became us.
crocodiles are still crocodiles.
Based on the "logic" used for restoring feathered dinosaurs, it should be safely assumed to have a full coat of shaggy fur until proven otherwise. And even when proven otherwise, just ignored.
Forgot the pic.
I wonder what you imagine you "caught".
>another dumb AWESOMESAUR lacking feathers
le sigh
I wish people would get with the times.
>synipsida
>feathers(!)
>dinosaurus(!!)
>...
I thought that reddit glowies couldn't embarrass themselves even more on this board. But they are always ready to "surprise" you. Yeah...
Please, go back to
and never come back again. You don't belong here. You can create dozens of useless dogthreads in your gay-board. Leave the Wauf alone, already.
how did that bait work
Some people on this board are too retarded or self-centered to understand what's humor and what isn't, though anon's bait was extremely and voluntarily obvious, someone genuinely bit
bots can't detect even obvious sarcasm
>hey, look, I'm a retard!
>dude, you're a retard
>actually, I was baiting!!! now I as always gonna samefagging to prove it to you!!
your english degrades as the night progresses.
right now you're barely speaking.
If you genuinely can't see how the dude was baiting then you're genuinely retarded, I'm afraid
I think I remember it being said that it was thought that they had oily secretions from their skin, so their skin might not have been so dry but kind of comparable to ours.
The presence of scales on the belly and tail makes sense, since sphenacodonts did not yet have a normal sagittal gait and often had to drag their belly right along the ground. The rest of the skin really was most likely naked and glandular.
I think they’ve changed it a bit. I remember it looking different. Slightly less ferocious
>rattail-like scales
That how I've imagined it. no hair though. some people like to think they have it, but I don't think they do.
When it lived is too early for fur. There’s no evidence for fur until coprolites from the later parts of the Permian with therapsids, at the very bare minimum.
I have not heard this. Do we even know what animal was eaten to give us that?
