Description

Sphenacodontid Sphenacodon ferox wants to dine in small amphibian/parareptilian. A characteristic feature of this animal is low (compared to Dimetrodon) spinous processes of vertebrae, the shape is much more similar to vertebrae of humpback mammals. Late Carboniferous - early Permian of New-Mexico (USA).

This is a type species of the genus, there are S. ferocior and S. britannicus. The second species is already in my list because of the larger size. :) (Smile)
