Polychrome pencil. 2009.
_Diplocaulus magnicornis_ Cope. Permian.
This is a reconstruction of _Diplocaulus magnicornis_ ontogeny, based on a skull growth series study done by Olson (1951).
This is the first palaeo-reconstruction I can claim to be accurate, BUT, be warned: The initial stages are highly speculative. Only the last 6 stages are based on skeletal remains. Larval lepospondyls have never been reported yet.
Many people helped me for this project. I'd like to thank , Dr. Michel Laurin, Pof. Nicolás Rozbaczylo, , and Dr. Alberto Veloso.
As always, I welcome unconstructive, merciless comments.
