In 1997 it is sent to coprolite specialist Karen Chin, who determines that this specimen of fossilized feces was attributable to ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. One year later, in 1998, Karen Chin and others publish a joint paper in ''Nature'' announcing the finding. * Paul Sereno lead an expedition to the Kem Kem region of southeastern Morocco. Among the fossils discovered is a partial skull of ''Carcharodontosaurus saharicus''. Significantly, it preserves a "complete and undistorted braincase" which would later be described in detail along with the structure of the inner ear of ''C. saharicus'' by Hans C. E.

Camya
''Camya'' is an extinct genus of early bivalve and is the only genus in the extinct family Camyidae. The genus is known solely from early Middle Cambrian fossils found in Europe. The genus currently contains a solitary accepted species, ''Camya asy''. Description ''Camya asy'' is a small bivalve which was first described in 1995 by Ingelore Hinz-Schallreuter. The genus and species are based on the fossils of two juvenile specimens which are both incomplete due to only the left valve of each being recovered. The fossils were found in sediments of the middle Cambrian aged ''Exsulans'' limestone which outcrops on the island of Bornholm in the Baltic Sea. The valves have a distinct subtriangular shape and possess a long straight hinge. The umbo is positioned notably anterior on the shell and the beak is bracketed by two teeth of indistinctly pyramidal shape. The presence of the teeth was later questioned in a 1998 study by G. Geyer and M. Streng and cited the lack of preserved ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Electrinocellia
''Electrinocellia'' is an extinct monotypic genus of snakefly in the family Inocelliidae containing the single species ''Electrinocellia peculiaris'' and known from Eocene aged Baltic amber. History and classification The genus is known from only the holotype, a single dark brown male specimen, deposited in the Harvard University Museum of Comparative Zoology as specimen number 51. The specimen was first studied and described by the prolific paleoentomologist Dr. Frank M. Carpenter, while he was curator of the Harvard paleoentomological collections. The genus was named from the Latin ''electrum'' meaning "amber" and ''Inocellia'', the type genus for Inocelliidae. The species name ''peculiaris'' is a reference to the enigmatic nature of the species when first studied. When first described the species was placed in ''Inocellia'' as ''Inocellia peculiaris''. In his type description of the species, Dr. Carpenter noted a number of odd features which do not conform well with extant ...

Wasp
A wasp is any insect of the narrow-waisted suborder Apocrita of the order Hymenoptera which is neither a bee nor an ant; this excludes the broad-waisted sawflies (Symphyta), which look somewhat like wasps, but are in a separate suborder. The wasps do not constitute a clade, a complete natural group with a single ancestor, as bees and ants are deeply nested within the wasps, having evolved from wasp ancestors. Wasps that are members of the clade Aculeata can Stinger, sting their prey. The most commonly known wasps, such as yellowjackets and hornets, are in the family Vespidae and are Eusociality, eusocial, living together in a nest with an egg-laying queen and non-reproducing workers. Eusociality is favoured by the unusual haplodiploid system of sex-determination system, sex determination in Hymenoptera, as it makes sisters exceptionally closely related to each other. However, the majority of wasp species are solitary, with each adult female living and breeding independently ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dryinus Grimaldii
''Dryinus grimaldii'' is an extinct species of wasp in the dryinid genus ''Dryinus''. The species is solely known from the early Miocene, Burdigalian stage, Dominican amber deposits on the island of Hispaniola. History and classification ''Dryinus grimaldii'' is known from a total of five female fossils, the holotype, specimen number "AMNH, No. DR-10-1426" and paratype, specimen number "AMNH, No. DR-10-1423". Three additional specimens, two labeled "H-10-23C" and one labeled "H-10-100", were identified later and were used in a redescription of the species. The holotype and paratype specimens are composed of complete female specimens which are entombed in blocks of orange colored amber. The type specimens are currently preserved in the paleoentomology collections housed in the American Museum of Natural History, located in Manhattan, New York City, USA. The three additional specimens are part of the private amber collection maintained by George Poinar Jr. from Oregon State Univ ...

Micropterix Proavitella
''Baltimartyria'' is an extinct genus of primitive metallic moths in the family Micropterigidae. The genus is solely known from the Early Eocene Baltic amber deposits in the Baltic Sea region of Europe. The genus currently contains two described species, ''Baltimartyria proavitella'' and ''Baltimartyria rasnitsyni''. ''B. proavitella'' The first known fossil was originally studied and described by Hans Rebel of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna, Austria. Rebel named the species ''Micropterix proavitella'', thinking it belonged to the modern genus ''Micropterix''. Rebel published his description of the species in 1936. The fossil was reexamined in 1995 by the Polish entomologist Andrzej W. Skalski, who recognized the species was not a member of ''Micropterix'' and moved the species to the new genus ''Baltimartyria''. ''B. rasnitsyni'' The second species of ''Baltimartyria'' described from Baltic amber is ''B. rasnitsyni'' which, like ''B. proavitella'', is known from a ...

Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.
