Additional Edaphosaurus info (from Wikipedia)

Edaphosaurus (Greek: earth lizard; from edaphos, "ground"; and sauros, "lizard") was a primitive herbivorous pelycosaur reptile. Along with the Diadectidae, Edaphosaurus is one of the earliest known plant-eating animals. It had a remarkably small, short and shallow skull, a wide body and thick tail. On its back is a sail, different in shape to that of its contemporary Dimetrodon, the vertebral spines being shorter and heavier and bearing numerous small cross bars.

The earliest known species are known from fragmentary remains of small animals from latest Carboniferous. Successive species increased in size during the middle Permian period, until they attained about 3.2 metres in length, as represented by the species Edaphosaurus cruciger and Edaphosaurus pogonias. These large species are distinguished by the cervical and anterior thoracic neural spines bearing large club-like sidebars.

Edaphosaurus pogonias is also the type species, a large early Permian form whose fossils are known from the Permian red beds of Texas. However it is not known for certain if all these species attributed to this genus actually belong there. The name Naosaurus claviger is given to an earlier smaller species that is usually included under Edaphosaurus.

Fin thingy looks too funky. I dont know much about models but I do know if you could alpha it a bit (assuming there is some sort of alpha channel there... again I dont know much about models) to make it look less... damnit I cant think of the word. Boxy??? Anyways awsome dino as are your others. I would rep you but you have too much

I know the sail on his back is a bit boxy, but is isn't exactly flat, so making it a bit rounder with Alpha channels will create small holes. And as I said, this is an old model, now I just fixed a few bone bugs.

And one can never have too much rep.

Could be useful for critters in a prehistoric map.

alpha out the fin thing and it looks good. I know you can,t in this state, but it looks way too bsquare for a fin.
