Abstract
This chapter describes numerous species that have been from the size of a house cat to that of a full grown alligator. Dimetrodon is the best known non-dinosaurian vertebrate fossil. Synapsids are actually more closely related to living mammals than most other subjects in the Lanzendorf collection. Debus represents Dimetrodon as a large, top-level carnivore but is constrained to a sluggish, sedentary lifestyle. The widespread distribution of Lystrosaurus fossils throughout many southern hemisphere landmasses played a key role as biological evidence corroborating the theory of continental drift. The Pterosauria were capable of flight and were contemporaries of dinosaurs, although not dinosaurs themselves. Tyrannosaurus resembled a Komodo dragon or monitor lizard. The model of the Kong Tyrannosaurus rex is something of a novelty; it is a historical piece.
