Gardinerpiscis
''Gardinerpiscis'' is an extinct genus of prehistoric actinopterygian fish that lived during the Kungurian age of the early Permian epoch in what is now Kazakhstan. It was originally named "''Gardineria''" by Kazantseva-Selezneva (1981). Because this genus name was already given to an extant scleractinian coral ('' Gardineria'' Vaughan, 1907), the new name ''Gardinerpiscis'' was erected for the Permian fish. The genus includes a single species (monotypy): ''Gardinerpiscis akkolkensis''. ''Gardinerpiscis'' is named after British palaeontologist and zoologist Brian G. Gardiner (1932 - 2021). The word part ''piscis'' is Latin for fish. See also * Prehistoric fish * List of prehistoric bony fish A ''list'' is any set of items in a row.

Kungurian
In the geologic timescale, the Kungurian is an age or stage of the Permian. It is the latest or upper of four subdivisions of the Cisuralian Epoch or Series. The Kungurian lasted between and million years ago (Ma). It was preceded by the Artinskian and followed by the Roadian. It corresponds roughly to the Leonardian Stage, covering the span from 280 to 270.6 ± 0.7 Ma in the North American system. Stratigraphy The Kungurian is named after the Russian city of Kungur in Perm Krai. The stage was introduced into scientific literature by Russian geologist Alexandr Antonovich Stukenberg (Alexander Stuckenberg) in 1890.; 2002: ''Progress report on the base of the Artinskian and base of the Kungurian by the Cisuralian Working Group'', Permophiles 41: pp 13–16. The base of the Kungurian Stage is defined as the place in the stratigraphic record where fossils of conodont species ''Neostreptognathodus pnevi'' and ''Neostreptognathodus exculptus'' first appear. As of 2009, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
