Captorhinids from the Pedra de Fogo Formation

A Moradisaurinae indet. (larger animal) and some Captorhinikos sp. feed and rest among the vegetation of the humid environment from the Pedra de Fogo Formation, lower Permian from Brazil. Those are the earliest known herbivorous tetrapods from Gondwana!

I had the pleasure to produce the image for the description of the animals! Many thanks to Juan Carlos Cisneros for the invitation and supervision on the image!
