STUPID PAYWALL THIS IS ONE ARTICLE I DEFINITELY WANTED TO READ

Do you have any details on those skin impressions? The abstract only mentions "integumentary structures."

No good hero is a one-trick phony.

That fossil is gorgeous.

Edit: by looking at said fossil I thought the impression looked rather scaly. Seemed kinda rough, like really course sandpaper or maybe a file.

Mark Witton describes these as "squamate like scales" in his Dimetrodon redesign.

Hm. Interesting... Not what I would have expected. I'll be revising some things now, I think.
