Day at the Iziko Museum!

A Couple of months ago, I had the amazing privilege to visit the Iziko South African Museum . I finally got around to compile all the info & photos that highlights... well, mostly prehistoric life that I find extremely interesting.   So....Ladies & Gents, grab your seats and join me on this interesting ride through one of the best museums in the country!   Uranocentrodon (Rhinesuchidae) (Temporal range: 259,9 - 252,2 Ma) Uranocentrodon is an extinct genus of the family Rhinesuchidae. Known from 50 centimetres (20”) skull, Uranocentrodon was a large predator with a length up to 3.75 metres (12.3 ft). It has been synonymized with Rhinesuchus, it was also originally considered to be of Triassic age, but more recent analysis has placed its age as just below the Permian-Triassic boundary.
