rhamphotheca: Moschops (meaning calf face) is an extinct genus of therapsid that lived in the Late Permian, around 255 million years ago. Therapsids were proto-mammals (non-mammal synapsids), which were the dominant land animals. 5 m long, Moschops was the largest land animal of its time, a herbivore preyed on by other therapsids. Its remains were found in the Karoo region of South Africa… (read more: Wikipedia) (image: Dmitry Bogdanov) Zoom

jailbrokejon: Five year old girl digs up 160 million year old fossil. She was armed with a spade better suited to building sandcastles than archaeological digs. But that was all five-year-old Emily Baldry needed to unearth a rare fossil thought to be more than 160million years old. Emily pulled the 9st specimen out of the ground at Cotswold Water Park in Gloucestershire with the help of her father Jon, 40.
