#varanops

"Along a shallow braided stream is a primitive upland community consisting of the amphibian Cacops in the foreground, and herbivorous pelycosaurs, Casea brolli on the distant bank. Farther back is Varanops, also a pelycosaur, which fed mostly upon insects and small vertebrates. Sphenophyllum and Equisetum line the banks, and the araucarian, Walchia, towers in the background. The approximate length of Cacops is 50 cms (20 in), Casea brolli 1 m (3 ft) and Varanops 1 m (3 ft)."
