Dimetrodon Coloring Pages

Dimetrodon (meaning “two measures of teeth”) is an extinct genus of synapsids that lived during the Cisuralian (Early) Permian, around 295–272 million years ago (Ma). It is a member of the family Sphenacodontidae. The most prominent feature of Dimetrodon is the large neural spine sail on its back formed by elongated spines extending from the vertebrae. It walked on four legs 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, mainly from a geological deposit called the Red Beds of Texas and Oklahoma. More recently, fossils have been found in Germany. Over a dozen species have been named since the genus was first described in 1878. Come and choose your favorite coloring page from the dinosaur coloring category.
