Mirisch
Mirisch or Mirić is a Jewish surname of Sephardic origin. The family (Rabbi David Marich merchant and doctor and Don Abraham Marich merchant) is attested in Ferrara following the Expulsion of 1492. Following the immigration of Sephardic Jews to the wider Balkan area the Marich settle in Banja Luka and later move to Sarajevo. Following the Ottoman rule family members immigrate further East into Serbia (where they locally adapt their name to Mirić whose local significance happens to mean 'peace') and further North into Poland where hundreds of Mirisch will die during the holocaust.

Mirischia
''Mirischia'' is a small (two meter-long) genus of compsognathid theropod dinosaur from the Albian stage ( Early Cretaceous Period) of Brazil. Discovery and naming In 2000 David Martill and Eberhard Frey reported the find of a small dinosaur fossil present in a chalk nodule, illegally acquired by the German Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Karlsruhe from an illegal Brazilian fossil dealer who had indicated the piece had been uncovered in the Chapada do Araripe, specifically at Araripina, Pernambuco. In 2004 the type species ''Mirischia asymmetrica'' was named and described by Martill, Frey and Darren Naish. The generic name combines the Latin ''mirus'', 'wonderful', with "ischia", the Latinised plural of Greek ἴσχιον, ''ischion'', 'hip joint'. The specific name ''asymmetrica'' refers to the fact that in the specimen the left ischium differs from its right counterpart. The holotype, SMNK 2349 PAL, has its probable provenance in the Romualdo Formation of the Santana G ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
