The Xiagou Formation is the middle strata of the Xinminbao Group. It is named for its type site in Xiagou, in the Changma Basin of Gansu Province, northwestern China and is considered Early Cretaceous in age. It is known outside the specialized world of Chinese geology as the site of a Lagerstätte in which the fossils were preserved of Gansus yumenensis, the earliest true modern bird.
Sapeornis is a monotypic genus of avialan dinosaurs which lived during the early Cretaceous period. Sapeornis contains only one species, Sapeornis chaoyangensis.
Catiniidae is a small extinct family of beetles known from the Early Triassic to the Early Cretaceous. The family is usually classified as a member of the suborder Archostemata, but beetles in this family had smooth elytra unlike members of the modern-day families Cupedidae and Ommatidae which have elytra with window punctures.
The Yixian Formation is a geological formation in Jinzhou, Liaoning, People's Republic of China, that spans about 1.6 million years during the early Cretaceous period. It is known for its fossils, listed below.
The Xinlong Formation is an Early Cretaceous geologic formation in Guangxi, southern China.
The Haifanggou Formation, also known as the Jiulongshan Formation, is a fossil-bearing rock deposit located near Daohugou village of Ningcheng County, in Inner Mongolia, northeastern China.
Xingxueanthus is an extinct genus of plants of dubious affinity which existed in China during the middle Jurassic period. It was first named by Xin Wang and Shijun Wang in 2010 and the type species is Xingxueanthus sinensis.
Manobiomorpha is an extinct genus of flea beetles described from the late Eocene Rovno amber of Ukraine. It was named by Konstantin Nadein and Evgeny Perkovsky in 2010, and the type species is Manobiomorpha eocenica.
Psyllototus is an extinct genus of flea beetles described from the late Eocene Rovno amber of Ukraine, and from the Baltic amber of Russia and Denmark. It was named by Konstantin Nadein and Evgeny Perkovsky in 2010, and the type species is Psyllototus progenitor. In 2016, a newly described extant flea beetle genus from Bolivia, Chanealtica, was found to be most similar to Psyllototus, based on the characters available for observation.
Paleophaedon is an extinct genus of chrysomeline leaf beetle described from the late Eocene Rovno amber of Ukraine. It was named by Konstantin Nadein and Evgeny Perkovsky in 2010, and the type species is Paleophaedon minutus.
Jerseyempheria is an extinct genus of empheriid psocodean which existed in what is now New Jersey during the Cretaceous period. It was named by Dany Azar, André Nel and Julian F. Petrulevicius in 2010, and the type species is Jerseyempheria grimaldii.
Weiwoboa is an extinct genus of weiwoboid fulgoroid which existed in what is now China during the early Eocene period. It was named by Lin Qibin, Jacek Szwedo, Huang Diying and Adam Stroiński in 2010, and the type species is Weiwoboa meridiana.
Crepidodera decolorata is an extinct species of flea beetles described from the late Eocene Rovno amber of Ukraine.
Mendozachorista is an extinct genus of insect which existed in Argentina during the Late Triassic period. It was named by Carsten Brauckmann, Oscar F. Gallego, Norbert Hauschke, Rafael G. Martins-Neto, Elke Groening, Jan-M. Ilger and María B. Lara in 2010, and the type and only species is Mendozachorista volkheimeri. It is known only from an impression of a Mecopterida-like wing found in the Llantenes Formation in Mendoza Province.
Raptorapax is an extinct genus of rhachiberothid which existed in what is now Lebanon during the early Cretaceous period. It was named by Julian F. Petrulevicius, Dany Azar and André Nel in 2010, and the type species is Raptorapax terribilissima. It was found in Lebanese amber.
Iberoevania is an extinct genus of evaniid which existed in what is now Spain during the early Cretaceous period. It was named by Enrique Peñalver, Jaime Ortega-Blanco, André Nel and Xavier Delclòs in 2010, and the only species is Iberoevania roblesi.
Cretevania is an extinct genus of Evaniidae, which lived in what is now China, Burma, England, Lebanon, Mongolia, Russia and Spain during the Cretaceous period. the genus was described by Rasnitsyn in 1975, and the type species is Cretevania minor.
Chresmoda is an extinct genus of insects within the family Chresmodidae.
