i would paint chet and his lesser, more distant dimetrodon friend, on the side of my van

unfortunately that would involve painting over the dimetrodon that is already there, so

i don't think a dimetrodon would be in favour of your crying. probably because it would interpret the noise as some sort of attempted roar, and would have to roar back, in turn

so, like, how do you search the archives, because if archives are included in the standard search tool then this person is the first person to mention dimetrodon on the forums, back in 2013

What area of DFW are you in? Most any route down to Glen Rose has a ton of country highways and roads with nice curves and dips, plus it's real pretty. If you don't mind slabbing it for a while, just taking 20 west into the Estacado tablelands is ha-mazingly pretty, especially now with rain(!!111 Dear god I hope we get an Indian summer this year) falling somewhat consistently and all the wildflowers blooming furiously. There's a crapload of little winding roads anywhere in farm country between Weatherford and Abilene too.

The elevation change from the high prairie where we're at and the Estacado in and of itself is worth riding for, whatever civil engineer designed 20's route must have been a motorcyclist or a big roller coaster fan. It's even fun to drive in my auto Ranger, the canting is perfect.

If you're thinking about heading north to OK and are a paleontology fan at all the Redbeds between TX and OK are chock full of some of the oldest vertebrate fossils in the world. If you can find a place that lets you access some of them, Dimetrodon and other proto-mammal synapsid teeth are supposed to be a dime a dozen in many areas. (It was the balmy southern coast of the North American continent until erosion from the now-plains areas and ancient mountain ranges in Canada started forming humongous mud/oyster flats, i.e. Texas)


You can use the elevation change graph on Google Maps' Distance Measurement tool to see what kind of ride a certain route is, too.

fake edit: I did not know about the hearing loss thing, time to get fitted for earplugs.

you will note they correctly identify dimetrodon as a proto-mammal synapsid

This is disappointing but I'm glad we have someone around still who is old enough to recall what the synapsids sounded like.
