https://www.sci.news/paleontology/captorhinus-aguti-skin-12605.html#Paleozoic cave system preserves oldest-known evidence of amniote skin https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(23)01663-9
"The newly-described fossilized skin belonged to #Captorhinus aguti, a species of early #reptile that lived during the #Permian period... The #skin fragment, which is smaller than a fingernail, has a pebbled surface and most closely resembles #crocodile skin."
