Now heres a spectacular offering! This a vertebra with a complete sail spine from one of the contemporaries of the famous Dimetrodon known as the Edaphosaurus, spines from experience are always ULTRA FRAGILE and they always BREAK for me in shipping and handling. This particular piece is well preserved with minimal restoration and is nearly entriely coated during prepartion in the style of how museums prepare alot of their specimens for mounted display, so while this type of fossil typically always breaks super easily, this particular specimenis sturdier than most and handles well. This one you can impressively display proudly in your collection without to much worry! Even includes its own display stand with a rod that holds the piece up from the verebra process hole. This fossil was found in the Permian age (280 million year old) Ryan Formation near Waurika Oklahoma and between somewhere around 1-5% restoration. The presence of the nodes on the spine is what distinguishes this from a spine section of Dimetrodon.
Many do not know that Edaphosaurus is an important fossil as it is one of the earliest known large plant-eating amniote tetrapods meaning four legged and land living vertebrates. A number of other synapsids from the same time period also have tall dorsal sails, most famously the large apex predator Dimetrodon. However, the sail spine on Edaphosaurus is different in shape and morphology. Dimetrodon's is straighter and comes to more of a point at the center. More important Edaphosaurus was certainly a prey item on the Dimetrodons menu. Having this on display with a Dimetrodon spine which I do also offer would be a treat for any fossil collector/museum who wants a killer permain display. So heres your chance to own or gift an impressive and notable permain fossil bone!
