Yes, see if you can guess the connection between these two fossils.

About Me
- Adam Yates
- I am a palaeontologist living and working in Alice Springs, in the red centre of Australia. I moved here with my wife and three kids from Johannesburg, South Africa. I used to focus my research on dinosaurs, and it is fair to say I am still a dino nut but these days I work on fossils from the NT, be they turtles, tassie tigers or anything else. In my spare time I like to watch birds, catch beetles, lizards and snakes and generally find out as much about the species around me as I can.

Are they two animals bearing a pair of lateral processes on their heads?
The vertebrate seems a juvenile procolophonid, am I right?
Hemm... "an owenettid" may be a better answer.
Saurodectes is both an insect and an owenettid!!!!! "Saurodectes" is another "invertebrate" name that kills a fossil reptile name (after Rahona, Ingenia, Nemegtia, Mononichus...) ? The owenettid on the left must change its name?
I apologise for writing 3 comments...
Wow that was quick! Yes you are correct, both were named Saurodectes.
For those naming new animal taxa, the website Nomenclator Zoologicus is indispensable for finding pre-occupied names.
