Nice new study by Martinez & Jenkins on procolophonid #parareptile tooth morphology & dietary #evolution ⬇️ Great to see their quantitative comparison to living reptiles 🦎 to infer procolophonid feeding habits 🍽️

A photo of the front of the mounted skeleton of the pareiasaurus parareptile, Bradysaurus, on display at the Vienna Museum of Natural History. Shows the skull and front limbs.
Presenting a photo of the herbivorous parareptile, Bradysaurus for this #FossilFriday. This ancient animal lived ~265 Ma in the #Permian & was one of the larger terrestrial tetrapods of its time. Despite the name, it’s not a dinosaur, but a #pareiasaur #parareptile.
