Case in 1907 and is still considered a valid species of Dimetrodon. As in many other early synapsids, the teeth of most Dimetrodon species are serrated at their edges. Naosaurus would later be synonymized with , a genus which Cope named in 1882 on the basis of skulls that evidently belonged to herbivorous animals given their blunt crushing teeth.

It is a member of the family. The most prominent feature of Dimetrodon is the large on its back formed by elongated spines extending from the. It and had a tall, curved skull with large teeth of different sizes set along the jaws. Most fossils have been found in the southwestern United States, the majority coming from a geological deposit called the. More recently, fossils have been found in Germany. Over a dozen species have been named since the genus was first in 1878. Dimetrodon is often mistaken for a or as a contemporary of dinosaurs in popular culture, but it became extinct some 40 million years before the first appearance of dinosaurs. Reptile-like dinosaurier tattoo appearance and physiology, Dimetrodon is nevertheless more closely related to mammals than to modern reptiles, though it is not a direct ancestor of mammals. This groups Dimetrodon together with mammals in a evolutionary group called Synapsida, while placingand in a separate clade. Single openings in the skull behind each eye, known asand other skull features distinguish Dimetrodon and mammals from most of the earliest sauropsids. Dimetrodon was probably one of the of the Cisuralian ecosystems, feeding on fish andincluding reptiles dinosaurier tattoo. Smaller Dinosaurier tattoo species may have had different. The sail of Dimetrodon may have been used to stabilize its spine or to heat and cool its body as a form of. Some recent studies argue that the sail would have been ineffective at removing heat from the body, and was most likely used in. Most Dimetrodon species ranged in length from 1. The largest known species of Dimetrodon is D. The larger species of Dimetrodon were among the largest predators of the Early Permian, although the closely relatedknown from skeletal fragments in slightly younger rocks, may have been even larger at an estimated 5. Although some Dimetrodon species could grow very large, many juvenile dinosaurier tattoo are known. Features such as ridges on the inside of the and a ridge at the back of the lower jaw are thought to be part of an evolutionary progression from early four-limbed vertebrates to mammals. The skull of Dimetrodon is tall and compressedor side-to-side. The eye sockets are positioned high and far back in the skull. Behind each eye socket is a single hole dinosaurier tattoo an. An additional hole in the skull, thecan be seen when viewed from above. The back of the skull the is oriented at a slight upward angle, a feature that it shares with all other early synapsids. The upper margin of the skull slopes downward in a convex arc to the tip of the snout. Its was more heavily built than a. One or two dinosaurier tattoo of caniniforms large pointed -like teeth extend from the maxilla. Large incisor teeth are also present at the tips of the upper and lower jaws, rooted in the premaxillae and. Many teeth are widest at their midsections and narrow closer to the jaws, giving them the appearance of a teardrop. Teardrop-shaped teeth are unique to Dimetrodon and other closely relatedand help distinguish them from other early synapsids. As in many other early synapsids, the teeth of most Dimetrodon species are serrated at their edges. The serrations of Dimetrodon teeth were so fine that they resembled tiny cracks. The dinosaur had similarly crack-like serrations, but, at the base of each serration was a roundwhich would have functioned to distribute force over a larger and prevent the stresses of feeding from causing the crack to spread through the tooth. Unlike Albertosaurus, Dimetrodon dinosaurier tattoo lacked adaptations that would stop cracks from forming at their serrations. A study in 2014 shows that Dimetrodon was in an arms race against its prey. As prey grew larger, several Dimetrodon species started developing serrations on their teeth and increasing in size. The second largest dimetrodon species, D. This study demonstrates that, as Dimetrodon's prey grew larger, it responded by growing larger itself and developing ever-sharper teeth. These ridges are much smaller than those of later synapsids from the Late Permian and Triassic, whose large nasoturbinals are taken as evidence for warm-bloodedness because they may have supported mucous membranes that warmed and moistened incoming dinosaurier tattoo. Thus, the nasal cavity of Dimetrodon is between those of early land vertebrates and mammals. The reflected lamina is found on the bone, which connects to the of the skull to form the jaw joint. In later mammal ancestors, the articular and quadrate separated from the jaw joint while the articular developed into the bone of the. The reflected lamina became part of a ring called the tympanic annulus that supports the in all living mammals. The tail of Dimetrodon makes up a large portion of its total body length and includes around 50. Tails were missing or incomplete in the first described skeletons of Dimetrodon; the only caudal vertebrae known were the eleven closest to the hip. Since these first few caudal vertebrae narrow rapidly as they progress farther from the hip, many paleontologists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries thought that Dimetrodon had a very short tail. It was not until 1927 that a largely complete tail of Dimetrodon was described. Near the vertebra body, the spine cross section is laterally compressed into a rectangular shape, and closer to the tip, it takes on a figure-eight shape as a groove runs along either side of the spine. The figure-eight shape is thought to reinforce the spine, preventing bending and fractures. A cross section of the spine of one specimen of Dimetrodon giganhomogenes is rectangular in shape dinosaurier tattoo preserves figure-eight shaped rings close to its center, indicating that the shape of spines may change as individuals age. The microscopic dinosaurier tattoo of each spine varies from base to tip, indicating where it was embedded in the muscles of the back and where it was exposed as part of a sail. The lower or portion of the spine has a rough surface that would have served as an anchoring point for the of the back, and also has a network of connective tissues called that indicate it was embedded within the body. Higher up on the outer portion of the spine, the bone surface is smoother. Thea layer of tissue surrounding the bone, is covered dinosaurier tattoo small grooves that presumably supported the blood vessels dinosaurier tattoo vascularized the sail. The large groove that runs the length of the spine was once thought to be a channel for blood vessels, but since the bone does not contain vascular canals, the sail is not thought to have been as highly vascularized as once thought. Some specimens of Dimetrodon preserve deformed areas of the neural spines that appear to be healed-over fractures. The that grew over these breaks is highly vascularized, suggesting that soft tissue must have been present on the sail to supply the site with blood vessels. Layered makes up most of the neural spine's cross-sectional area, and contains lines of arrested dinosaurier tattoo that can be used to determine the age of each individual at death. In many specimens of D. Their crookedness suggests that soft tissue may not have extended all the way to the tips of the spines, meaning that the sail's webbing may not have been as extensive as it is commonly imagined. Impressions of the skin of a related animal,indicate that it would have been smooth and well-provided with glands. Dimetrodon also may have had large on the underside of its tail and belly, as other synapsids did. Recent evidence from the suggests that some early synapsids had -like scales. Cope had obtained the fossils along with those of many other Permian tetrapods four-limbed vertebrates from several collectors who had been exploring a group of rocks in Texas called the. Among these collectors were Swiss naturalistTexas geologistand amateur paleontologist. Most of Cope's specimens went to the American Museum of Natural History or to the 's Walker Museum most of the Walker fossil collection is now housed in the. Sternberg sent some of his own specimens to German paleontologist atalthough Broili was not as prolific as Cope when it came to describing specimens. Cope's rival also collected some bones of Dimetrodon, which he sent to the Walker Museum. The first use of the name Dimetrodon came in 1878 when Cope named the species Dimetrodon incisivus, Dimetrodon rectiformis, and Dimetrodon gigas in the scientific journal. However, the first description of a Dimetrodon fossil came a year earlier, when Cope named the species Clepsydrops limbatus from the. The name Clepsydrops was first coined by Cope in 1875 for sphenacodontid remains fromand was later employed for many sphenacontid specimens from Texas; many new species of sphenacodontids from Texas were assigned to either Clepsydrops or Dimetrodon in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Cope was the first to describe a sail-backed synapsid with the naming of Clepsydrops natalis in his 1878 paper, although he called the sail a fin and compared it to the crests of the modern Basilicus. Sails were not preserved in the specimens of D. Unless the animal had aquatic habits, and swam on its back, the crest or fin must have been in the way of active movements. The limbs are not long enough nor the claws acute enough to demonstrate arboreal habits, as in the existing genus Basilicus, where a similar crest exists. He received funding from the for dinosaurier tattoo study of many Dimetrodon specimens in the collections of the and several other museums. Many of these fossils had been collected by Cope but had not been thoroughly described, as Cope was known for erecting new species on the basis of only a few bone fragments. Dinosaurier tattoo in the late 1920s, paleontologist restudied many Dimetrodon specimens and named several new species. Most of the species names considered valid by Romer and Price are still used today. The first was described from the region of Utah in 1966 and another was described from Arizona in 1969. In 1975, Olson reported Dimetrodon material from Ohio. A new species of Dimetrodon called D. The specimens found in Utah and Arizona probably also belong to D. Before these discoveries, a theory existed that a Midcontinental seaway separated what is now Texas and Oklahoma from more western lands during the Early Permian, dinosaurier tattoo Dimetrodon to a small region of North America while a smaller sphenacodontid called dominated the western area. While this seaway probably did exist, the discovery of fossils outside Texas and Oklahoma show that its extent was limited and that it was not an effective barrier to the distribution of Dimetrodon. In 2001, a new species of Dimetrodon called D. Many have been with older named species, and some now belong to different genera. The name Clepsydrops was first coined by Cope in 1875 for sphenacodontid remains fromand was later employed for many sphenacontid specimens from Texas; many new species of sphenacodontids from Texas were assigned to either Clepsydrops or Dimetrodon in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Dinosaurier tattoo on a specimen from theit was the first known sail-backed synapsid. In 1940, paleontologists and reassigned C. In 1907, paleontologist moved D. Case published a lengthy description of E. Case named a new species of sail-backed synapsid, Theropleura grandis, in 1907. In 1940, Alfred Romer and Llewellyn Ivor Price reassigned Theropleura grandis to Dimetrodon, erecting the species D. Case also described a very well preserved skull of Dimetrodon in 1904, attributing it to the species Dimetrodon gigas. In 1919, attributed a nearly complete specimen of Dimetrodon to D. Dimetrodon gigas is now recognized as a synonym of D. Case in 1907 and is still considered a valid species of Dimetrodon. In 1907, Case reclassified it as Dimetrodon macrospondylus. It is now considered a synonym of Dimetrodon macrospondylus. Dimetrodon kempae was named on the basis of a single humerus and a few vertebrae, and may therefore be a that cannot be distinguished as a unique species of Dimetrodon. In 1940, Romer and Price raised the possibility that D. It is one of the smallest species of Dimetrodon in North America and may be closely related to D. Besides its small size, D. Its vertebrae are also shorter in height relative to the rest of the skeleton than those of other Dimetrodon species. The skull is tall and the snout is short relative to the temporal region. A short vertebrae and tall skull are also seen in the species D. Specimens of the species were reported from the of Texas. It is also the largest species of Dimetrodon. It was named on the basis of a single skeleton belonging to a relatively small individual. The small size of D. Dimetrodon specimens found in Utah and Arizona probably also belong to D. It is also the smallest species of Dimetrodon. In 1886, Cope moved D. Naosaurus would later be synonymized witha genus which Cope named in 1882 on the basis of skulls that evidently belonged dinosaurier tattoo herbivorous animals given their blunt crushing teeth. Case named the species Dimetrodon longiramus in 1907 on the basis of a scapula and elongated mandible from the of Texas. In 1940, Romer and Price recognized that the D. Williston did not consider his specimen to belong to Dimetrodon but instead classified it as an. Romer and Price assigned Case and Williston's specimens to a newly erected genus and species,that was closely related to Dimetrodon. It is often mistaken for a dinosaur in popular culture, despite having become extinct some 40 million years Ma before the first appearance of dinosaurs in the period. As a synapsid, Dimetrodon is more closely related to mammals than to dinosaurs or any living reptile. By the early 1900s most paleontologists called Dimetrodon a reptile in accordance withwhich ranked Reptilia as a and Dimetrodon as a genus within that class. Dinosaurier tattoo theorized that mammals evolved from this group in what they called a reptile-to-mammal transition. Descendants of the last common ancestor of mammals and reptiles which appeared around 310 Ma in the are therefore split into two clades: Synapsida, which includes Dimetrodon and mammals, andwhich includes living reptiles and all extinct reptiles more closely related to them than to mammals. Within clade Synapsida, Dimetrodon is part of the cladewhich was first proposed as an early synapsid group in 1940 by paleontologists Alfred Romer and Llewellyn Ivor Price, along with the groups and. All three groups are known from the Late Carboniferous and Early Permian. Romer and Price distinguished them primarily by features such as the shapes of limbs and vertebrae. Ophiacodontia was considered the most primitive group because its members appeared the most reptilian, and Sphenacodontia was the most advanced dinosaurier tattoo its members appeared the most like a group calledwhich included the closest relatives to mammals. Romer and Price placed another group of early synapsids called within Sphenacodontia, considering them to be more primitive than other sphenacodonts like Dimetrodon. They thought varanopids and Dimetrodon-like sphenacodonts were closely related because both groups were carnivorous, although varanopids are much smaller and more lizard-like, lacking sails. The modern view of synapsid relationships dinosaurier tattoo proposed by paleontologist in 1986, whose study included features mostly found in the skull rather than in the postcranial skeleton. Dimetrodon is still considered a sphenacodont under thisbut varanodontids are now considered more synapsids, falling outside clade Sphenacodontia. Within Dinosaurier tattoo is the groupwhich in turn contains and. Sphenacodontidae is the group containing Dimetrodon and several other sail-backed synapsids like andwhile Therapsida includes mammals and their mostly Permian and relatives. Dinosaurier tattoo is the Clade Synapsida, which follows this phylogeny of as modified from the analysis of Benson 2012. Some of the first to think about its purpose suggested that the sail may have served as camouflage among reeds while Dimetrodon waited for prey, or as an actual boat-like sail to catch the wind while the animal was in the water. Another is that the long neural spines could have stabilized the trunk by restricting up-and-down movement, which would allow for a more efficient side-to-side movement while walking. In the following years, many models were created to estimate the effectiveness of thermoregulation in Dimetrodon. For example, in a 1973 article in the journalpaleontologists C. Fellgett estimated that it took a 200 kilograms 440 lb individual about one and a half hours for its body temperature to rise from 26 to 32 °C 79 to 90 °F. Haack concluded that the warming was slower than previously thought and that the process probably took four hours. Using a model based on a variety of environmental factors and hypothesized physiological aspects of Dimetrodon, Haack found that the sail allowed Dimetrodon to warm faster in the morning and reach a slightly higher body temperature during the day, but that it was ineffective in releasing excess heat and did not allow Dimetrodon to retain a higher body temperature at night. In 1999, a group of mechanical engineers created a computer model to analyze the ability of the sail to regulate body temperature during different seasons, and concluded that the sail was beneficial for capturing and releasing heat at all dinosaurier tattoo in the year. Dimetrodon and all other Early Permian land vertebrates are assumed to have been cold-blooded orrelying on the sun to maintain a high body temperature. Because of its large size, Dimetrodon had highmeaning that changes in body temperature occurred more slowly in it than in smaller-bodied animals. As temperatures rose in the mornings, the small-bodied prey of Dimetrodon could warm their bodies much faster than could something the size of Dimetrodon. Many paleontologists including Haack have proposed that the sail of Dimetrodon may have allowed it to warm quickly in the morning in order to keep pace with its prey. The sail's large surface area also meant heat could dissipate quickly into the surroundings, useful if the animal needed to release excess heat produced by dinosaurier tattoo or absorbed from the sun. Dimetrodon may have angled its sail away from the sun to cool off or restricted blood flow to the sail to maintain heat at night. Richard Tracy proposed that the evolution of a sail in Dimetrodon was related to the evolution of warm-bloodedness in mammal ancestors. They thought that the sail of Dimetrodon enabled it to bemaintaining a dinosaurier tattoo, albeit low, body temperature. Mammals are also homeothermic, although they differ from Dimetrodon in beingcontrolling their body temperature internally through heightened metabolism. Turner and Tracy noted that early therapsids, a more advanced group of synapsids closely related to mammals, had long limbs which can release heat in a manner similar to that of the sail of Dimetrodon. The homeothermy that developed in animals like Dimetrodon may have carried over to therapsids through a modification of body shape, which would eventually develop into the warm-bloodedness of mammals. The presence of sails in small-bodied species of Dimetrodon such as D. Moreover, close relatives of Dimetrodon such as have very low crests that would have been useless as thermoregulatory devices. The large sail of Dimetrodon is thought to have developed gradually from these smaller crests, meaning that over most of the sail's evolutionary history, thermoregulation could not have served an important function. Larger bodied specimens of Dimetrodon have larger sails relative to their size, an example of. Positive allometry may benefit thermoregulation because it means that, as individuals get larger, surface area increases faster than mass. Larger-bodied animals generate a great deal of heat through metabolism, and the amount of heat that must be dissipated from the body surface is significantly greater than what must be dissipated by dinosaurier tattoo animals. Effective heat dissipation can be predicted across many different animals with a single relationship between mass and surface area. However, a 2010 study of allometry in Dimetrodon found a different relationship between its sail and body mass: the actual scaling exponent of the sail was much larger than the exponent expected in an animal adapted to heat dissipation. The researchers concluded that the sail of Dimetrodon grew at a much faster rate than was necessary for thermoregulation, and suggested that was the primary reason for its evolution. Furthermore, as Bakker 1970 observed in the context of Dimetrodon, many lizard species raise a dorsal ridge of skin during threat and courtship displays, and positively allometric, sexually dimorphic frills and dewlaps are present in extant lizards Echelle et al. There is also evidence of sexual dimorphism both in the robustness of the skeleton and in the relative height of the spines of D. Possible Dimetrodon footprint, Fossils of Dimetrodon are known from the United States Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Ohio and Germany, areas that were part of the supercontinent during the Early Permian. Within the United Dinosaurier tattoo, almost all material attributed to Dimetrodon has come from three geological groups in north-central Texas and south-central Oklahoma: thetheand the. Most fossil finds are part of lowland ecosystems which, during the Permian, would have been vast wetlands. In particular, the Red Beds of Texas is an area of great diversity of fossilor four-limbed vertebrates. In addition to Dimetrodon, the most common tetrapods in the Red Beds and throughout Early Permian deposits in the southwestern United States, are the amphibians,andthethe reptileand the synapsids and. Based on the geology of deposits like the Red Beds, the fauna is thought to have inhabited a well-vegetated lowland. He proposed several main types of ecosystems in which the earliest tetrapods lived. Dimetrodon belonged to the most primitive ecosystem, which developed from aquatic food webs. In it, aquatic plants were the and were largely fed upon by fish and aquatic invertebrates. Most land vertebrates fed on these aquatic primary consumers. Insects are known from the Early Permian Red Beds and were probably involved to some degree in the same food web as Dimetrodon, feeding small reptiles like Captorhinus. The Red Beds assemblage also included some of the first large land-living herbivores like Edaphosaurus and. Feeding primarily on terrestrial plants, these herbivores did not derive their energy from aquatic food webs. According to Olson, the best modern analogue for the ecosystem Dimetrodon inhabited is the. The exact lifestyle of Dimetrodon amphibious to terrestrial has long been controversial, but bone microanatomy supports a terrestrial lifestyle, which implies that it would have fed mostly on land, on the banks, or in very shallow water. Evidence also exists for Dimetrodon preying on aestivating Diplocaulus during times of drought, with three partially eaten juvenile Diplocaulus in a burrow of eight bearing teeth marks from a Dimetrodon that unearthed and killed them. The only species of Dimetrodon found outside the southwestern United States is D. Its remains were found in the in a fossil site called the Bromacker locality. The Bromacker's assemblage of Early Permian tetrapods is unusual in that there are few large-bodied synapsids serving the role of top predators. It more likely ate small vertebrates and insects. Only three fossils can be attributed to large predators, and they are thought to have been either large varanopids or small sphenacodonts, both of which could potentially prey on D. In contrast to the lowland deltaic Red Beds of Texas, the Bromacker deposits are thought to have represented an upland environment with no aquatic species. It is possible that large-bodied carnivores were not part of the Bromacker assemblage because they were dependent on large aquatic amphibians for food.
