Ganorhynchus is an extinct genus of prehistoric lungfish from the Devonian period. [1] [2] Fossils were found in Mansfield, Pennsylvania. [3]
Zapodidae, the jumping mice, is a family of mouse-like rodents in North America and China.
Anomaluromorpha is a clade that unites the anomalures, springhares, and zenkerella. It has alternately been designated as either a suborder or infraorder. Most recently, Carleton & Musser 2005 recognized it as one of five suborders of rodents.
Latimeriidae is the only extant family of coelacanths, an ancient lineage of lobe-finned fish. It contains two extant species in the genus Latimeria, found in deep waters off the coasts of southern Africa and east-central Indonesia. In addition, several fossil genera are known from the Mesozoic of Europe, the Middle East, and the southeastern United States, dating back to the Triassic.
Epihippus is an extinct genus of the modern horse family Equidae that lived in the Eocene, from 46 to 38 million years ago.
Chelonoidis is a genus of turtles in the tortoise family erected by Leopold Fitzinger in 1835. They are found in South America and the Galápagos Islands, and formerly had a wide distribution in the West Indies.
Darah formerly known as Darah-ye Hazara is a District in Afghanistan, located in Panjshir province. The inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Hazaras. The population in 2019 was estimated to be 15,407.
The Belden Shale is a geologic formation in Colorado near the town of McCoy. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Ringstead Coral Bed is a geological formation with fossilized coral in England. It preserves fossils dating back to the Jurassic period. The beds are exposed at Ringstead Bay in Dorset, on the Jurassic Coast, hence the name.
The Kupferschiefer or Kupfermergel, is an extensive and remarkable sedimentary unit in Central Europe. The relatively monotonous succession is typically 30 to 60 centimetres and maximum 2 metres (6.6 ft) thick, but extends over an area of 600,000 square kilometres (230,000 sq mi) across the Southern Permian Basin. The Kupferschiefer can be found in outcrop or in the subsurface straddling six countries, including parts of the southern North Sea. The lateral equivalent outcropping in England is called Marl Slate.
Orthaulax is an extinct genus of sea snails in the family Strombidae.
Baena is an extinct genus of baenid turtles.
Aktaua is an extinct genus of sawfish from the Lutetian stage of the Eocene epoch. It is currently known from a single species, A. kizylkumensis. It is found in the White Mountain Formation of Uzbekistan. The species was named for the Kizylkum Desert, in which it was found. The genus name is derived from the Uzbek word for "white," in reference to the formation it was found in.
Annea is an extinct genus of carpet shark from the middle Jurassic epoch of the Jurassic period. It is currently known by two species. A. carinata is known from the upper Aalenian and lower Bajocian of Germany. A. maubeugei is known from the middle Toarcian of Belgium. Its name honors Dr. P. L. Maubeuge, who studied the Jurassic of Lorraine in which this species was found. This genus appears to exhibit heterodonty.
Borate sulfates are mixed anion compounds containing separate borate and sulfate anions. They are distinct from the borosulfates where the borate is linked to a sulfate via a common oxygen atom.
Phestia is an extinct genus of clam belonging to order Nuculanida and family Nuculanidae.
Phenacomyini is a tribe of voles in the subfamily Arvicolinae. It contains five species in two genera, all of which are found in North America.
Paratropes fossilis is an extinct species of cockroach within the family Ectobiidae that lived during the Cretaceous period. The holotype is an isolated right tegmen 24 millimeters in length. The type locality is in the Gerofit Locality within the Ora Formation located in Israel.
Fistuliporidae is an extinct family of bryozoans within the order Cystoporida. Members of this family have lived from the early Ordovician to the late Triassic period.
Conocoryphidae is a family of trilobites within the order Ptychopariida. Members of this family have been recorded from the Cambrian to early Ordivician from 513 to 478 MYA. Members of this family have been uncovered in the United States, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Greenland, Russia, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
