Pomatodelphis
''Pomatodelphis'' is an extinct genus of river dolphin from Middle Miocene marine deposits in Alabama, Florida, Brazil, Germany and France. Classification ''Pomatodelphis'' belongs to the platanistid subfamily Pomatodelphininae, which is distinguished from the South Asian river dolphin in having a flattened rostrum, a transversely expanded posterior end of the premaxilla, an eye and bony orbit of normal size (not atrophied), and nasal bones not reduced in size but wide transversely. A close relative of ''Pomatodelphis'' is '' Prepomatodelphis'' from marine deposits in Austria. Three species are known, ''P. inaequalis'', ''P. bobengi'', and ''P. stenorhynchus''. Fossil distribution Fossils of ''Pomatodelphis'' have been found in: * Citronelle Formation (Hemphillian), Alabama * Solimões Formation (Huayquerian), Brazil * Marks Head, Peace River The Peace River (french: links=no, rivière de la Paix) is a river in Canada that originates in the Rocky Mountains of northern ...

Camelidae
Camelids are members of the biological family Camelidae, the only currently living family in the suborder Tylopoda. The seven extant members of this group are: dromedary camels, Bactrian camels, wild Bactrian camels, llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos. Camelids are even-toed ungulates classified in the order Cetartiodactyla, along with species like whales, pigs, deer, cattle, and antelopes. Characteristics Camelids are large, strictly herbivorous animals with slender necks and long legs. They differ from ruminants in a number of ways.Fowler, M.E. (2010). ''Medicine and Surgery of Camelids'', Ames, Iowa: Wiley-Blackwell. Chapter 1 "General Biology and Evolution" addresses the fact that camelids (including camels and llamas) are not ruminants, pseudo-ruminants, or modified ruminants. Their dentition show traces of vestigial central incisors in the incisive bone, and the third incisors have developed into canine-like tusks. Camelids also have true canine teeth and tusk-lik ...

Trionyx
''Trionyx'' is a genus of softshell turtles belonging to the family Trionychidae. In the past many species in the family were classified in this genus, but today '' T. triunguis'', the African or Nile softshell turtle, is the only extant softshell still classified as ''Trionyx''. The other species still assigned to this genus are only known from fossils. ''T. triunguis'' is a relatively large, aquatic piscivore. Species The list of species follows a 2017 review of the Trionychidae by Georgios L. Georgalis and Walter G. Joyce. * '' Trionyx triunguis'' ( Forsskål, 1775) – African or Nile softshell turtle * † '' Trionyx pliocenicus'' Fucini, 1912 – Pliocene of Tuscany (Italy) * † '' Trionyx vindobonensis'' (Peters, 1855) – Miocene of Vienna (Austria) The following species are considered valid trionychid taxa, but with uncertain phylogenetic relationships. They are only referred to ''Trionyx'' provisionally due to its historic status as a wastebasket taxon Wasteba ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Teleoceras
''Teleoceras'' (Greek: "perfect" (teleos), "horn" (keratos)) is an extinct genus of grazing rhinoceros. It lived in North America during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs during the Hemingfordian to the end of Hemphillian from around 17.5 to 4.9 million years ago. It grew up to lengths of 13 feet (4 meters long). Description ''Teleoceras'' had much shorter legs than modern rhinos, and a barrel chest, making its build more like that of a hippopotamus than a modern rhino. Based on this description, Henry Fairfield Osborn suggested in 1898 that it was semi-aquatic and hippo-like in habits. This idea persisted for about a century, but has recently been discounted by isotopic evidence. ''Teleoceras'' is now thought to have been a terrestrial grazer on C3 plants. ''Teleoceras'' had a single small nasal horn. Discovery ''Teleoceras'' is the most common fossil in the Ashfall Fossil Beds of Nebraska. In fact, its remains were so numerous and concentrated that the building housing the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caretta
The loggerhead sea turtle (''Caretta caretta'') is a species of oceanic turtle distributed throughout the world. It is a marine reptile, belonging to the family Cheloniidae. The average loggerhead measures around in carapace length when fully grown. The adult loggerhead sea turtle weighs approximately , with the largest specimens weighing in at more than . The skin ranges from yellow to brown in color, and the shell is typically reddish brown. No external differences in sex are seen until the turtle becomes an adult, the most obvious difference being the adult males have thicker tails and shorter plastrons (lower shells) than the females. The loggerhead sea turtle is found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. It spends most of its life in saltwater and estuarine habitats, with females briefly coming ashore to lay eggs. The loggerhead sea turtle has a low reproductive rate; females lay an average of four egg clutches and then become q ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
