ERYOPS FOSSILS FOR SALE

Eryops, meaning “drawn-out face”, was a primitive amphibious temnospondyls that lived about 295 million years ago in the Permian period. Eryops averaged around 5-7 feet long but could grow up to 10 feet, making it the largest land animals living at the time. It had a large, broad, flat skull with a large mouth and many slightly curved teeth. While a handful of complete skeletons have been found, teeth are the most common fossil. Its fossils are primarily found in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
