The two top Paleozoic predators - Arthropleura (a giant millipede) and Eryops (a giant salamander).

Holy dooly :shock:
Imagine walking though the bush and seeing that millipede cross your path!!!
Takes me back to when I was young(er) watching Dr Who! :shock:
It would be good to see a life size model of the salamander to get perspective...
:D
 
Whats the size of the skull? got nothing to compare it with in the photo. Still neat regardless though
