A small, tubby reptile, the new species Threordatoth chasmatos, rests on a grey rock with yellow lichen. The reptile is mottled grey, brown and orange, with small orange horns on its cheeks. Its eye is dark, and the lower jaw has a bluish tinge. Behind it are taller grey-yellow rocks - the walls of the fissures that this animal would be fossilised in.
New #paleoart and new species for #FossilFriday! Meet Threordatoth chasmatos, a small Triassic procolophonid named today by @lukeemeade.bsky.social, @richardjbutler.bsky.social, @marcehjones.bsky.social and Nicholas C. Fraser. Link to paper: doi.org/10.1002/spp2... #sciart #paleontology

These features of the jaw and teeth may indicate feeding or food processing in quite a different way to other procolophonids, perhaps a range of foods including plants and insects π±ππ² π 4/4

Photo of dentary bones of Threordatoth chasmatos
Many of the lower jaw bones have a weird toothless tip and featureless symphysis. Perhaps the halves of the jaw were connected flexibly to help jaw movements and aid close tooth-on-tooth contact during chewing or providing shock-absorptionπ 3/4

Photo of holotype maxilla bone of Threordatoth chasmatos
This is based on tiny partial remains from Carnian-Norian age fissure fills from Cromhall Quarry, SW England. The upper jaw has a highly reduced tooth count of large 3-cusped teeth, distinct and more complex than many other procolophonids𦷠2/4
