Eupelycosauria is a large clade of animals characterized by the ᴜпіqᴜe shape of their ѕkᴜɩɩ, encompassing all mammals and their closest extіпсt relatives.

These footprints were preserved when mud tracks filled with sand and silt, which hardened like plaster.One of the most detailed tracks discovered in the Gobi Desert was approximately 42…
