All the specimens listed on this page were dissolved out of a large block of
Permian limestone from the Admiral Formation of Oklahoma. It took over 6
months and more than 100 gallons of acid to dissolve the 30 lb block and
release the bones. The block contained thousands of bones from many
disarticulated Permian vertebrates, all of which had been deposited in a
narrow water channel. The items listed are what we have been able to sort
through thus far. Please check back regularly for updates as there are many
more fossils that we will be offering from 'The Permian Block'.

Captorhinus aguti
Captorhinus aguti foot ~1.25 inches $125
An excellent quality, complete, composite rear foot of this famous Permian reptile. All 27 bones are
complete and 100% genuine and have been articulated in the same manner they would have had been in
life. Each claw is complete with excellent preservation. The lid of the display box holding the bones has
been taped down but this can easily be removed should you wish to handle the bones. None of the bones
are glued in place allowing easy rearrangement and study. Rarely offered and highly recommended.
