It wasn't until 1905 that the bonewas correctly identified as part of the upper jaw of a sphenacodontid, a family of \"pelycosaur-grade\" mammal-like reptiles or synapsids, animals that livedfrom the Late Pennsylvanian to middle Permian ages.Based on similarities of the jaw bones, experts nowbelieve that the specimen could actually belong to the sail-back Dimetrodon or a similar animal, although fossil evidence of a sail has yet to be found. IfBathygnathus was similar to Dimetrodon, the large \"sail\" on its back could have helped regulate its body temperature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite its early misidentification, this fossil is of great scientific and historical significance-it lived between290 and 260 million years ago, when what is now P.E.I. lay near the equator.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis realistic non-novelty coin is the first of a series on dinosaurs discovered in Canada.

Depicted hereas similar to Dimetrodon, the mammal-like reptile bares its long, sharp teeth as its powerful, low-slung body walks. From the animal's back rises one of the key Dimetrodon features: the tall, spiny, skin-covered dorsal sail used to regulate body temperature. The reverse is engraved with the words \"CANADA,\" the date \"2013\" and the face value of \"20 DOLLARS.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J\u0026M Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40784870834251,"sku":"RCM.CA.SV.CN.002671 - BC1373","price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2872\/6347\/files\/false_09fc12c3-d57c-4c7a-8872-66f9028d801b.jpg?v=1717052777","url":"https:\/\/jandmcoins.com\/products\/canada-silver-2013-d20-bathygnathus-borealis-dinosaurs-of-canada-pf-1_009oz_-_9999-bc1373","provider":"J\u0026M Coin \u0026 Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
