Dimetrodon meaning “two measures of teeth” is an extinct genus of synapsids that lived during the Early Permian, around 295–272 million years ago. The most prominent feature of Dimetrodon Limbatus is the large neural spine sail on its back formed by elongated spines extending from the vertebrae.

Features such as ridges on the inside of the nasal cavity and a ridge at the back of the lower jaw are thought to be part of an evolutionary progression from early four-limbed land-dwelling vertebrates to mammals.

The skull of Dimetrodon Limbatus is tall and compressed laterally, or side-to-side. The eye sockets are positioned high and far back in the skull. Behind each eye socket is a single hole called an infratemporal fenestra.
