English: "Holly", a complete skeleton of Diplocaulus sp. on display at the Whiteside Museum of Natural History in Seymour, Texas. A closer view of skeletal details.
Label:
"Holly is one of two complete Diplocaulus skeletons discovered by WMNH paleontologists. This specimen is prepared from the ventral, or stomach side of the animal, meaning it is upside down in the block. The large flat bone near the head is the massive chest plate, a protective covering that also acted as a weight to hold the animal down on the bottom of a pond, where it spent most of its time."
