"mammal-like finback reptiles roamed parts of North Texas 60 million years before dinosaurs arrived"

One of which was the semi-familiar Dimetrodon, seen in lots of old sci-fi films.

Image result for Dimetrodon

Actually, what you saw in lots of old sci-fi films were iguanas or other contemporary reptiles with plastic prosthetics scotch-taped to their backs, heh-heh!

And the vegetation in that image doesn't look very authentic. There were, after all, no grasses (or other angiosperms) in the Permian Period.
