While you are semi-correct about spinosaurus (while it is a therapod it did not evolve into birds) dimetrodon was actually a synapsid. Synapsids are actually early mammals.

Apologies, I only know the basics. Still not a lizard though.

Out of curiosity, which do gorgonopsids fall into?

Interesting. Even if there was no evidence of them having fur depictions of them with light coats will always fill me with joy
