#edaphosaurus — Public Fediverse posts

This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Edaphosaurus

In 1882, Edward Drinker Cope named and described Edaphosaurus, based on a crushed skull and lower jaw.

In 1886, Cope erected the new genus Naosaurus for skeletal remains similar to Dimetrodon.

In 1907, Ermine Cowles Case suggested that the Edaphosaurus skull belonged to Naosaurus skeletons.

In 1910 a new skeleton was found with a skull and body together.

In 1913, Samuel Wendell Williston and Case synonymized Naosaurus and Edaphosaurus.

Oh look, its two new mini-builds added to the Permian era stuff,
In the front row we have the two new ones, #moschops and #lystrosaurus
In the back we have #Gorgonops #Edaphosaurus and #Dimetrodon

What other Permian era stuff should I consider adding next? Or something earlier or later? Let me know

First up, the Synapsids.
These three (from top to bottom #Gorgonops #Edaphosaurus #Dimetrodon) were late comers to the design process. But chronologically, they were the earliest of the builds.
You can see that Edaph and Dime both use the same core body, with slightly different heads and sails.

Scientists Discover One of the Earliest Mammal Ancestors That Ate Its Veggies: The new finding pushes the first signs of tetrapod #herbivory back millions of years https://www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/national-museum-of-natural-history/2023/04/05/smithsonian-scientists-discover-one-of-the-earliest-mammal-ancestors-that-ate-its-veggies/

A new #Carboniferous #edaphosaurid and the origin of herbivory in #mammal forerunners https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-30626-8

#Melanedaphodon’s teeth, which end in bulbous points, are unique. But they do possess some similarities to the chompers of #Edaphosaurus and living #lizards that eat plants as part of their diets.
