This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Dimetrodon

In 1845, in the British colony of Prince Edward Island, Donald McLeod, found the first maxilla of what would later become Dimetrodon.

Later purchased by John William Johnson, a Canadian geologist

In 1854 it was described by Joseph Leidy as the mandible of Bathygnathus borealis, a large carnivore related to Thecodontosaurus. In 2015 it was reclassified as a dimetrodon.

In 1878 Edward Drinker Cope formally named fossils be found Dimetrodon.

Dimetrodon (small version) (AAA)

There are at least five different AAA Dimetrodon sculpts so I’m calling this the “small version” to differentiate it from the others. This one is from the 1980s and there are a handful of interesting aspects that make this figure stand out from other similar cheap Dimetrodons.

While most budget Dimetrodons usually have a generic lizard-like heads, this small AAA toy has an almost […]

Dimetrodon from memory vs. reference. I clearly don't know what they look like in my brain. #paleoart #Dimetrodon

Now it's time for my favorite non-dinosaur dinosaur! I've always been fascinated by early proto-mammals, especially dimetrodon. Halfway through I realized I didn't have enough paper but I think I made it work.

Dimetrodon (Jurassic World: Dominion Captivz by ToyMonster)

Mattel isn’t the only company producing Jurassic World toys and for this review we’re changing things up and introducing Captivz by ToyMonster to the blog. The Jurassic World Captivz are blind bag style toys originally released in Australia that started showing up in the US a couple years ago, with their Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous set. They’re packaged

A first person view of petting a #dimetrodon like the big pupper it is.

This one popped into my head fully-formed when I saw a Dimetrodon skull at the Paris natural history museum. It looked so friendly and loveable, and in that moment I could easily imagine it laying its head in my lap to ask for pets.

If you enjoy my art, consider leaving a tip at https://ko-fi.com/vickysaurus/ . Thanks!

This is deeply wrong, but it’s an interesting kind of wrong.

Our perception of the past telescopes: there’s the recent past, what we remember; the middle past, what our parents and grandparents remember; the long past, out of living memory but still preserved in familiar stories; and everything else. As I’ve said before, a lot of Americans’ idea of human #history seems to go roughly as follows:

1. #Cavemen.
2. #Pyramids.
3. #Jesus.
4. Robin Hood and King Arthur.
5. #Columbus and #pirates.
6. #Pilgrims and George Washington.
7. #Cowboys.
8. World War Two. (One must have happened somewhere?)
9. #Hippies and #Vietnam.
10. The real world begins with the momentous event of my birth.

Nor is this uniquely an American problem—some places have better educational systems than others, but I think people everywhere hold similar mythologized versions of world events leading uniquely and inevitably to their own central place in the world.

So here’s an extreme version of the same phenomenon applied to natural history. Most reasonably educated people have some idea that not all prehistoric animals lived at the same time (although poor #Dimetrodon is forever going to be mixed in with #dinosaurs) but they do tend to lump enormous spans of time together: #mammoths and #sabertooths, before that all dinosaurs all at once, and before that … I dunno … jellyfish or something.

#Creationists, of course, turn it up to 11.
