This paleontological restoration is inaccurate, or its accuracy is disputed.
Reason:
Ratio of Manus/Pes to lower limbs is wrong (Manus/Pes should be longer, the lower limbs shorter).
Lenght of digits differs too less from one another. Especially in the forehand the digits are reconstructed almost equally long.
The tail is much(!) too long. The exact length of the tail is not known in Paleothyris but there is no evidence in the fossil record that would justify a reconstruction with a tail that is almost twice as long as the animal’s trunk.
