Digging Dimetrodons in Permian red-beds with the Whiteside Museum
Ойын-сауық
I recently had the opportunity to participate in a dig workshop with @whitesidemuseum of Seymour Texas. Digging in the world famous Craddock bone bed for 280 million year old fossils. Dimetrodon were the carnivorous, sail-backed, apex predators at this time on the planet.

thank you!
What an amazing dig! Digging Dimetrodons would be so much fun. Just to hold a piece of one of those amazing creatures would be amazing. That was an amazing dig and so much fun. What awesome finds. I'm so jealous. Incredible!

Most people I know still think its a dinosaur and I cant convince them otherwise.... simply because al the kids dino toy sets come with a dimetrodon! So I understand the confusion and I don't get worked up when people mis-label extinct species.
Came across your Channel and peaked my interest so I subscribed. I am into Dino Bones. I have possibly a Dino Head, which I first thought it was just a dino hip bone and so I researched and the only similar thing to what I have is a Pic of a Dino Head on the Net. I have taken pics and will try and talk to a Geologist / Paleontologist?
Dimetrodon is a Synapsid, or Mammal Like Reptile.

Absolutely true!
Hey, I’m going up to Seymour for some fossil hunting real soon, are the Cradock Bone Beds open to the public? Asking because I would love to go hunting there.

sorry, no. That is a private ranch and only the museum has access. Everything around there is private land, so I dont think you'll find any place you can hunt on. You could contact the museum about becoming a volunteer field worker. Dont know if that could work for you or not.

@@TheFossilFiend I found a creek called Brushy Creek in Seymour, I don’t know how to tell if it’s private property or not.
