Aulacephalodon was a pig-sized, not-mammal early relative of mammals, making it a non-mammalian synapsid. Like all dicynodonts within this clade, it had a beak for cutting plants. It lived before the dinosaurs. It is from the Permian period of geologic time, and lived in South Africa. Note from the uploader --- although this is a digital artwork, it is also hand-drawn.

Chroniosuchus was a reptiliomorph (very reptile-semblant amphibian), that lived in the Late Permian period. Chroniosuchus was an amphibian that had wide scutes of armor covering its back. It was about the size of a smallish dog.

A species of trilobite from the Upper Ordovician, about 445 million years ago, it was discovered in 1838 by an American geologist and paleontologist named James Hall, in the Beecher’s Trilobite Bed in Rome, New York. These specimens were particularly well preserved with even soft body parts preserved in iron pyrite (fools gold). The fossilisation was so good that scientists were able to study their legs, gills, antennae, digestive system, and even some eggs. As a result of this exquisite preservation, this species is often referenced as the standard for scientific text describing trilobite anatomy. Triarthus was a small animal, on’y about 2 inches in length, but that is pretty average among most species of trilobite.

A trilobite found in deposits near Saint Petersburg Russia. It first appeared on the fossil record about 500 million years ago, and died out around 390 million years ago, it was discovered around 1845. Sadly there isn’t as much specific info on this one, but there are more than 20,000 currently identified Trilobite species, and not all of them has as much info as others.

Diadectes was a Permian stem-amniote... possibly an early amniote with little affiliation with mammals, amphibians or reptiles, but related to all. Some species were large. This herbivorous land-tetrapod was a prey item for Dimetrodon.

Estemmenosuchus mirabilis was a genus of therapsid that lived during the Middle Permian (267 million years ago). Found in what is now the Perm region of Russia in the 1960s, both of the currently recognized species: E. uralensis and E. mirabilis are most recognizable from their distinctive knobby, antler-like facial structures; these structures are in face where they get their name which means "crowned crocodile."

Hand-drawn, digital artwork of a Keratocephalus interpretation, teal in color. Keratocephalus was a plant-eating dinocephalian, and lived in the Permian period of geological deep time --- the period right before the one in which dinosaurs first appear. It was hunted by large carnivores of its time and area, like Anteosaurus.

One of the largest flesh-eating dinosaurs. About 18ft (5-5m) high and 50ft (15m) long. Foreground: Struthiomimus, an ostrich-like dinosaur. Upper Cretaceous, about 70 million years ago.

A prehistoric dreamscape set in the Permian period of planet Earth, featuring everyone's favorite not-a-dinosaur sail-backed synapsid, Dimetrodon. Ink on paper with digital color, by Sharon Wegner-Larsen. ©2022 Sharon Wegner-Larsen

Illustration of the early mammal-like reptile dimetrodon at the shore of a body of water. Frequently mistaken for a dinosaur, this animal was a synapsid, and died out 40 million years before the first dinosaurs appeared. It lived 295 to 272 million years ago, during the Early Permian. Most of the known fossils have been found in Texas, USA. Around 3 metres in length, it was one of the dominant land predators at the time. The neural spine sail may have been for thermoregulation, but is also thought to have been used for mating displays

During the Late Permian period (around 260 to 254 million years ago) Inostracevia and the rest of it’s family group, Gorgonopsidae were some of the largest predators on the planet, they roamed what is now Northern Russia, stalking their prey with a smiled full of sabers. Gorgonopsids were part of a group called therapsids, a group of animals that include mammals and their ancestors. They were a group that also shared common traits with reptiles but weren’t quite part of either modern group.

Dimetrodon was part of a group known as known as mammal-like reptiles or stem-mammals. While they share many traits with modern reptiles and modern mammals they are neither, but are part of the overall group called Synapsids that includes all modern mammals (even humans like you). While it is often associated with dinosaurs in popular media these sail-backed quadripeds are much older than that group and are most closely related to us than they are to dinosaurs. Dimetrodon main defining traits include a very distinctive sail supported by extensive neural spins, as well as a set of differentiating teeth that were clearly evolved to different uses, something we and most modern mammals share.

Roughly 259.8 to 254.1 million years ago during the Late Permian era in what would eventually become South Africa, deserts sands blew across an arid landscape. Meanwhile, to escape the oppressive heat and avoid predation a tiny synapsid called Diictodon (the name meaning “two weasel toothed”) used it’s stubby legs, sharp claws, and peculiar tusks to dig into their earth, constructing relatively large (for their size) corkscrew-shaped burrows, designed to protect and give them an easy route up and down.

Arthropleaura was an ancient ancestor to modern millipedes. There were many species, some measuring less than a foot and others growing up to around 8 feet in length, making them some of the largest Arthropods (invertebrates with exoskeletons such as insects, spiders, scorpions, and trilobites) to have ever lived.
