  Priesener Formation (Czech Republic) | |
The Priesener Formation is a Coniacian geologic formation in the Czech Republic. [1] Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation. [2]
Albisaurus was once thought to be a genus of dinosaur, but is now thought to be a non-dinosaurian archosaur. It was first described by Antonin Fritsch, a Czech palaeontologist, in 1893, but the remains are sparse. The validity of the species cannot be proven based on the fossil remains, and it is usually marked as a nomen dubium. It lived during the Turonian-Santonian stages of the Cretaceous period.
Ponerosteus is a dubious genus of extinct archosauromorph from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian-aged) Korycanar Formation of the Czech Republic that was initially identified as a species of the dinosaur Iguanodon.
Cretornis is a pterosaur genus from the late Cretaceous period of what is now the Jizera Formation in the Czech Republic, dating to about 92 million years ago. It only contains a single species, Cretornis hlavaci.
Argiles et Grès à Reptiles Formation also known as the Argiles Rutilantes Formation is an early Maastrichtian French geologic formation in the département of Var preserving the remains of several types of dinosaurs and other extinct organisms.
Paleontology or palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils. This includes the study of body fossils, tracks (ichnites), burrows, cast-off parts, fossilised feces (coprolites), palynomorphs and chemical residues. Because humans have encountered fossils for millennia, paleontology has a long history both before and after becoming formalized as a science. This article records significant discoveries and events related to paleontology that occurred or were published in the year 1905.
Cimoliasaurus was a plesiosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of the eastern United States, with fossils known from New Jersey, North Carolina, and Maryland.
The Trossingen Formation, formerly the Knollenmergel, is a geological formation in Germany and Switzerland. It dates back to the late Norian-Rhaetian.
The Dukamaje Formation is a geological formation in Niger and Nigeria whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation. A wealth of Mosasaur fossils have also been recovered from this formation, particularly from the area around Mt. Igdaman.
The Chico Formation is a geologic formation of the Campanian Age during the Cretaceous Period, found in California and southern Oregon.
The Guichón Formation is a Late Cretaceous geologic formation of the Paysandú Group in Uruguay. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.
The Calizas de Lychnus Formation is a Maastrichtian geologic formation in northern central Spain. Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.
The Korycanar Formation is a Late Cretaceous geologic formation in the Czech Republic. Archosauromorph remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation and also dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus.
The Moreno Formation is a Mesozoic geologic formation located in San Joaquin Valley (California).
Dinosaur remains diagnostic to the genus level are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.
The Akaiwa Formation is an Early Cretaceous (Hauterivian-Barremian) geologic formation in central Honshu, Japan. Indeterminate ornithischian fossils are known from the formation. Fossil ornithopod tracks have been reported from the formation. As well as the turtle Kappachelys
The Black Creek Group is a Late Cretaceous -aged geologic group in the southeastern United States, where it is known from the coastal plain of North Carolina and South Carolina. Deposited in brackish or nearshore marine conditions, it preserves fossils, including a diversity of dinosaurs and marine reptiles.
The Benkersandstein is a geologic formation in Germany. It preserves fossils dating back to the Late Triassic (Carnian) period. Fossil theropod tracks have been reported from the formation.
Iserosaurus is an extinct genus of sea turtle from the Late Cretaceous of Czech Republic.
Bohemiclavulus is a genus of synapsids that was discovered in the Slaný Formation of the Czech Republic. The type, and currently only, species is B. mirabilis.
The Jizera Formation is a geologic unit of Late Cretaceous (Turonian) age, located in the Czech Republic. It is a unit of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin. It consists of fluvial to shallow marine sediments and pterosaur fossils are among the remains found in the Jizera Formation. The type locality of the Jizera Formation is a quarry in Zářecká Lhota.
František Bayer was a Czech zoologist, paleontologist and teacher. He taught at secondary schools before becoming director of the Jiráskovo Gymnasium in Prague. In his spare time he worked on the Cretaceous vertebrates of the region. He specialized in the fishes although he also described birds, amphibians and reptiles. The taxonomic affinities of some of the taxa he described have since been redetermined. He also took an interest in music, both composing and writing about music.
