INCLUDING SHIPPING

• This collection consists of plastic resin casts of claws and unguals from Dimetrodon, Eryops and Archeria. 
• Included are 3 different Dimetrodon claws, an Archeria ungual, and an Eryops toe, claw and tooth. 
• All are casts of actual fossils.

• A nice collection of 3 Archeria teeth. 
• These distinct chisel shaped teeth are not common at Waurika but are rare examples of Anthracosaur dentition.
• Housed in a 3cm gem jar.

• The most common Archeria fossils are the vertebrae, and rarely do they have excellent preservation.
• Poor ossification of the bonesisbelieved to have meant they were less readily fossilised in good condition.
• Each specimen come from the clay deposits of Waurika laid down in the pond environment where the animal once lived.
• Four vertebrae come housed in a 8x5 cm display case.

Diplocaulus collection

• A rare collection of fossils from this amphibian with a strange boomerang shaped head. 
• Collection includes a vertebra, skull plate and appendicular bone. 
• Housed in a 8x5 cm display case.

Diadectes tooth cast collection

• Three plastic resin casts of actual Diadectes teeth. 
• Includes an incisor, premolar and molar. 
• Excellent educational kit to show the differentiated dentition of this highly specialised reptile like amphibian.

• A rare piece of Diadectes skull housed in a 8x5 cm display case. 
• Pieces exhibit thick, robust, rugose bone.

Secodontosaurus spine section

• A rare section of vertebral spine from this poorly known pelycosaur. 
• Similar in size to Dimetrodon but with a more slender skull and smaller sail. 
• Spine fragments are housed in 8x5 cm display case.

Baby Dimetrodon spine sections

• These rare pieces are from juvenile and baby Dimetrodons. 
• Only about 1 cm long but showing the characteristics of the form. 
• These are not terminal sections of adult spines but lovely pieces of baby pelycosaurs (Note how in the image right of an adult the spine tips are more or less as thick as at the base and do not taper to such diminutive sizes as those offered here).

• An excellent quality section of vertebral spine from an adult Dimetrodon. 
• Show the distinct grooving on the faces. 
• Housed in a 4x5 cm display case

• An excellently preserved vertebral centrum from Dimetrodon. 
• Specimens are nice and clean with minimal, if any, encrustation and keels are well preserved. 
• Each measures ~1.5 cm
• 
  

• An excellent quality piece of Dimetrodon rib section. Beautiful bone preservation. 
• Housed in a 8x5 cm display case.

• A near complete fossil claw of Dimetrodon and a complete example that is a plastic resin cast. 
• Both are housed in a 5x4 cm display case. 
• The fossil shows good preservation and is the anterior portion of the claw.

Edaphosaurus composite vertebral spine display

• A section of Edaphosaurus spine and isolated spur in an 8x5 cm display case. 
• These fossils are highly diagnostic of Edaphosaurus and represent the most easily identifiable fossils of this pelycosaur

• A very good quality specimen of Edaphosaurus spine with each bearing two spurs. 
• Housed in an 8x5 cm display case. 

For additional Edaphosaurus fossils please see out page on the Texas Red Beds. If you are looking for specific fossils from Waurika please contact us.
