(image source: https://a-z-animals.com/animals/eryops/) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Stephen Curro discuss Eryops, a large amphibian with curved teeth, oval bumps, and a big head. Hey, Eryops, why the drawn-out face? Thank you, I'm here ‘til Tuesday. From the Early Permian, this 8-foot temnospondyl had the species name megacephalus, meaning this creature's binomial name means “drawn-out face with a big head.” I really think they want us to know how big this thing's head is, guys. What a thing to be famous for! Some can sing, some can dance, some have really, really big heads. We all work with our lot in life, whether it's a lot or not. Hosted on Acast.

Die Sendung mit der Ziege - Folge 14: der BromackerIch melde mich zurück aus der Sommerpause mit einer neuen Folge. Heute geht es um den Bromacker - eine bedeutende Fossil-Lagerstätte für Tetrapoden, die vor 295 Mio Jahren und somit im Unteren Perm gelebt haben. Der Bromacker liegt im Thüringer Wald zwischen Tambach-Dietharz und Georgental. Im Jahr 1974 hat hier Dr. Thomas Martens den ersten Ur-Saurierknochen gefunden. Seither wurden 12 Ur-Saurierarten als Erstnachweise beschrieben.

From the Early Permian, this 35-foot eugeneodontid sliced through fish and squids with the most hardcore set of pearly whites this side of... well, actual sharks.

From the Early Permian, this 30-foot temnospondyl was an awesome mix of one of those giant super-crocs and a newt. Seriously, if a witch turned you into a newt like this, you'd never want to get better.

From the Early Permian, this 15-foot long synapsid is the coolest dinosaur ever! Except it's not a dinosaur.

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: October 14th, 1991 --- MacGyver cameos briefly in a case handled entirely by the bounty hunting Colton family. MISSION: Jesse, Frank, Billy, Mama Colton, and Frog Dog are on the case when a series of gang killings threaten the life of a young woman. This week's highlights include: Dimetrodon (Dinosaur) Dimetrodon (meaning "two measures of teeth") is an extinct genus of synapsid that lived during the Early Permian period, around 295–272 million years ago (Ma). It is a member of the family Sphenacodontidae. The most prominent feature of Dimetrodon is the large sail on its back formed by elongated spines extending from the vertebrae. It walked on four legs and had a tall, curved skull with large teeth of different sizes set along the jaws. Most fossils have been found in the southwestern United States, the majority coming from a geological deposit called the Red Beds in Texas and Oklahoma. More recently, fossils have been found in Germany. Over a dozen species have been named since the genus was first described in 1878.

Geology and how it relates to Paleontology will be the topic of discussion on Natures Task Show Fine Art of Paleontology. Join New Mexico Museum of Natural History research associate Ken McKeighen and Ken Boorman n the Fine Art of Paleontology as they discuss geology and how it relates to paleontology. Ken McKeighen has been doing field work since 2009 for the NMMNHS and has made some really cool discoveries. He will explain how understanding geology helped him to discover a new species of Dimetrodon and also how he was able to discover one of central New Mexico's most prolific Early Permian vertebrate fossil sites, the Abo copper mine in the Abo Pass of NM. On Tuesday April 5th at 8pm est,7pm cst and 5pm pst. We look forward to you joining us.

Jerry MacDonald and Spencer Lucas talk about how trace fossils are made, who the track makers were, and what this tells us about similarities and differences between coastal ecosystems of the modern world and those of the of the Early Permian world.
