Dimetrodon incisivus

3D Model

Historical reconstruction of Dimetrodon. Delve into the prehistoric past with this historical reconstruction of Dimetrodon, a fascinating synapsid that lived during the Permian period. This model holds significant historical value, having been acquired from Professor König and originally displayed in the University Museum in Genova. Dimetrodon is renowned for its distinctive sail-like structure on its back, believed to have played a role in thermoregulation or display.
Dimetrodon incisivus is a synapsid that lived during the Cisuralian period (Early Permian), around 295 to 272 million years ago. Notable for its distinctive sail-like structure formed by elongated neural spines on its back, this carnivorous creature could grow up to 3 m in length. It had a large skull equipped with sharp, knife-like teeth, well-suited for grasping and slicing through prey..

This model was realized by Glenda Cantale during the Universal Civil Service (SCU) at the Genoa University.
