Energosuchus
''Energosuchus'' (meaning "active crocodile" in Greek language, Greek) is an extinct genus of rauisuchian. Fossils are present from the upper Karyomayol Formation, Karyomayol and lower Synya Formations outcropping along the banks of the Bolshaya Synya river in the Ural Mountains, Timan-North Urals region in northern European Russia, as well as from the Bukobay Formation in the southern part of Bashkortostan in the southern Urals of European Russia.Gower, D.

Rauisuchia
"Rauisuchia" is a paraphyletic group of mostly large and carnivorous Triassic archosaurs. Rauisuchians are a category of archosaurs within a larger group called Pseudosuchia, which encompasses all archosaurs more closely related to crocodilia Crocodilia (or Crocodylia, both ) is an order of mostly large, predatory, semiaquatic reptiles, known as crocodilians. They first appeared 95 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous period ( Cenomanian stage) and are the closest living ...ns than to birds and other dinosaurs. First named in the 1940s, Rauisuchia was a name exclusive to Triassic archosaurs which were generally large (often ), carnivorous, and quadrupedal with a pillar-erect hip posture, though exceptions exist for all of these traits. Rauisuchians, as a traditional Taxonomy, taxonomic group, were considered distinct from other Triassic archosaur groups such as early dinosaurs, Phytosaur, phytosaurs (crocodile-like carnivores), Aetosaur, aetosaurs (armored herbivor ...

Middle Triassic
In the geologic timescale, the Middle Triassic is the second of three epochs of the Triassic period or the middle of three series in which the Triassic system is divided in chronostratigraphy. The Middle Triassic spans the time between Ma and Ma (million years ago). It is preceded by the Early Triassic Epoch and followed by the Late Triassic Epoch. The Middle Triassic is divided into the Anisian and Ladinian ages or stages. Formerly the middle series in the Triassic was also known as Muschelkalk. This name is now only used for a specific unit of rock strata with approximately Middle Triassic age, found in western Europe. Middle Triassic fauna Following the Permian–Triassic extinction event, the most devastating of all mass-extinctions, life recovered slowly. In the Middle Triassic, many groups of organisms reached higher diversity again, such as the marine reptiles (e.g. ichthyosaurs, sauropterygians, thallatosaurs), ray-finned fish and many invertebrate groups like ...

Greek Language
Greek ( el, label=Modern Greek, Ελληνικά, Elliniká, ; grc, Ἑλληνική, Hellēnikḗ) is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, native to Greece, Cyprus, southern Italy (Calabria and Salento), southern Albania, and other regions of the Balkans, the Black Sea coast, Asia Minor, and the Eastern Mediterranean. It has the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, spanning at least 3,400 years of written records. Its writing system is the Greek alphabet, which has been used for approximately 2,800 years; previously, Greek was recorded in writing systems such as Linear B and the Cypriot syllabary. The alphabet arose from the Phoenician script and was in turn the basis of the Latin, Cyrillic, Armenian, Coptic, Gothic, and many other writing systems. The Greek language holds a very important place in the history of the Western world. Beginning with the epics of Homer, ancient Greek literature includes many works of lasting impo ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Fossil
A fossil (from Classical Latin , ) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, objects preserved in amber, hair, petrified wood and DNA remnants. The totality of fossils is known as the ''fossil record''. Paleontology is the study of fossils: their age, method of formation, and evolutionary significance. Specimens are usually considered to be fossils if they are over 10,000 years old. The oldest fossils are around 3.48 billion years old to 4.1 billion years old. Early edition, published online before print. The observation in the 19th century that certain fossils were associated with certain rock strata led to the recognition of a geological timescale and the relative ages of different fossils. The development of radiometric dating techniques in the early 20th century allowed scientists to quantitatively measure the ...

Synya Formation
The Synya (russian: Сыня) is a river in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia. The river is long — from the source of the Mokraya Synya at its head— and has a catchment area of . The Synya flows across the Shuryshkarsky District. It is navigable for , between its mouth in the Ob and Ovgort village. Course The Synya is a left tributary of the Ob river. It has its sources at the confluence of the long Sukhaya Synya and the long Mokraya Synya, which flow from the eastern slopes of the Polar Urals. The river flows initially southwards, then bends and flows eastwards, within a wide floodplain located at the northwestern end of the West Siberian Plain. Finally it meets the left bank of the Malaya Ob, an arm of the Ob, about from its mouth.Google Earth Tributaries The main tributaries of the Synya are the long Lesmiyogan (Лесмиёган), the long Nesyogan (Несъёган) and the long Bolshoy Tukshin (Большой Тукшин) from the right.

Bolshaya Synya
The Bolshaya Synya (russian: Большая Сыня; Komi: Ыджыд Сыняю), also known simply as Synya , is a river in the Komi Republic, Russia. The river is long — from the source of the Voyvozh-Synya at its head— and has a catchment area of . The Synya Formation, a Middle Triassic geological formation, is named after the Bolshaya Synya river. The Synya flows across the Pechora Municipal District. The Pechora Railway crosses the river near Synya village. Part of the river basin falls within the limits of the Yugyd Va National Park, a protected area. Google Earth Course The Synya is a left tributary of the Usa, one of the main tributaries of the Pechora. It has its sources in the western slopes of the Subpolar Urals. The river heads in a roughly NNW direction as a mountain river in its upper reaches. In its middle and lower course its channel divides into branches as it flows within a wooded, swampy plain.

European Russia
European Russia (russian: Европейская Россия, russian: европейская часть России, label=none) is the western and most populated part of Russia. It is geographically situated in Europe, as opposed to the country's sparsely populated and vastly larger Siberia, eastern part, which is situated in Asia, encompassing the entire North Asia, northern region of the continent. The Ural Mountains divide Russia into two parts, bisecting the Eurasian supercontinent. European Russia covers the vast majority of Eastern Europe, and spans roughly 40% of Europe's total landmass, with over 15% of its total population, making Russia the List of European countries by area, largest and List of European countries by population, most populous country in Europe.
