[eng] The Permian is a very important geological period worldwide, as it contains the record of the Earth before the largest mass extinction of all time. Those ecosystems were complex, and, regarding terrestrial tetrapods, there were two dominant evolutionary lines: the sauropsids (a group containing modern reptiles and birds) and synapsids (which contain the present-day mammals). Although rocks of this period do crop out on the Balearic Islands, they have been historically poorly studied. The present paper describes and analyses the first tetrapod fossil remain that was found in the Permian of Menorca, consisting in a large-sized bone. Its detailed study has made it possible to identify it as a scapula, but its incompleteness and lack of preparation precludes assignation to a specific tetrapod group. Its morphology is reminiscent to the scapulae of pareiasaur parareptiles, sphenacodontian “pelycosaur” synapsids, and therapsid synapsids. All of them have been found in palaeogeographically close regions during the middle and late Permian. In any case, this specimen represents a new record for the Permian faunas of Menorca, and demonstrates the importance of future samplings to recover new specimens from that area.
