V. Standish Mallory
Victor Standish Mallory (1919 in Englewood, New Jersey – February 15, 2003) was a micropaleontologist, biostratigrapher, Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington Department of Geology, and a Curator Emeritus of Invertebrate Paleontology at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture. Mallory earned his BS in Geology from Oberlin College and his Masters and Ph. D. studying under Robert Kleinpell at the University of California, Berkeley. He was an expert in the Tertiary of Washington State and specialized in biostratigraphy using Foraminifera. A number of paleontological species from Eastern Washington and Oregon have the specific epithet "''malloryi''" in honor of his expertise in the stratigraphy and paleontology of the area, including the Miocence chipmunk, '' Neotamias malloryi'' plus the Ypresian sumac ''Rhus malloryi'' and winter-hazel ''Fothergilla malloryi''.

Rhus Malloryi SR 10-29-02 A Img1a
Sumac ( or ), also spelled sumach, is any of about 35 species of flowering plants in the genus ''Rhus'' and related genera in the cashew family (Anacardiaceae). Sumacs grow in subtropical and temperate regions throughout the world, including East Asia, Africa, and North America. Sumac is used as a spice, as a dye, and in medicine. Description Sumacs are dioecious shrubs and small trees in the family Anacardiaceae that can reach a height of . The leaves are usually pinnately compound, though some species have trifoliate or simple leaves. The flowers are in dense panicles or spikes long, each flower very small, greenish, creamy white or red, with five petals. The fruits are reddish, thin-fleshed drupes covered in varying levels of hairs at maturity and form dense clusters at branch tips, sometimes called sumac bobs. Sumacs propagate both by seed (spread by birds and other animals through their droppings), and by new shoots from rhizomes, forming large clonal colonies. Taxonomy ...

University Of Washington Faculty
A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. In the United States, the designation is reserved for colleges that have a graduate school. The word ''university'' is derived from the Latin ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". The first universities were created in Europe by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (''Università di Bologna''), founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *Being a high degree-awarding institute. *Having independence from the ecclesiastic schools, although conducted by both clergy and non-clergy. *Using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *Issuing secular and non-secular degrees: grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The university i ...

Fothergilla Malloryi
''Fothergilla malloryi'' is an extinct species of flowering plant in the family Hamamelidaceae known from fossil leaves found in the early Eocene Klondike Mountain Formation deposits of northern Washington state. The ''F. malloryi'' leaves are the earliest appearance in the fossil record of a member of the witchalder genus ''Fothergilla'', which includes the living species '' F. gardenii'', and '' F. major'', both of which are native to the southeastern United States. The genus also includes three or four other fossil species with two Asian Miocene species, '' F. viburnifolia'' from China, '' F. ryozenensis'' from Japan along with one Miocene North American species, '' F. praeolata'' of Oregon. '' Fothergilla durhamensis'' described from Eocene sediments in King County, Washington is considered dubious in placement, and it was transferred to the genus '' Platimeliphyllum'' by Huegele ''et al.'' (2021). History and classification ''Fothergilla malloryi'' is represented by a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rhus Malloryi
''Rhus malloryi'' is an extinct species of flowering plant in the sumac family Anacardiaceae. The species is known from fossil leaves found in the early Eocene deposits of northern Washington state, United States. The species was first described from a series of isolated fossil leaves in shale. ''R. malloryi'' is one of four sumac species to be described from the Klondike Mountain Formation, and forms a hybrid complex with the other three species. Taxonomy ''Rhus malloryi'' is known from specimens which are recovered from an outcrop of the early Eocene, Ypresian Klondike Mountain Formation in Republic. The Klondike Mountain Formation preserves an upland temperate flora which was first interpreted as being microthermal, however further study has shown the flora to be more mesothermal in nature. The plant community preserved in the Klondike Mountain formation is a mixed conifer–broadleaf forest with large pollen elements of birch and golden larch, but also having notable tra ...

Ypresian
In the geologic timescale the Ypresian is the oldest age (geology), age or lowest stage (stratigraphy), stratigraphic stage of the Eocene. It spans the time between , is preceded by the Thanetian Age (part of the Paleocene) and is followed by the Eocene Lutetian Age. The Ypresian is consistent with the lower Eocene. Events The Ypresian Age begins during the throes of the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). The Fur Formation in Denmark, the Messel shales in Germany, the Oise amber of France and Cambay amber of India are of this age. The Eocene Okanagan Highlands are an uplands subtropical to temperate series of lakes from the Ypresian. Stratigraphic definition The Ypresian Stage was introduced in scientific literature by Belgium, Belgian geologist André Hubert Dumont in 1850. The Ypresian is named after the Flanders, Flemish city of Ypres in Belgium (spelled ''Ieper'' in Dutch). The definitions of the original stage were totally different from the modern ones.

Specific Name (zoology)
In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet or species epithet) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen). The first part of the name of a species is the name of the genus or the generic name. The rules and regulations governing the giving of a new species name are explained in the article species description. For example, the scientific name for humans is ''Homo sapiens'', which is the species name, consisting of two names: ''Homo'' is the " generic name" (the name of the genus) and ''sapiens'' is the "specific name". Historically, ''specific name'' referred to the combination of what are now called the generic and specific names. Carl Linnaeus, who formalized binomial nomenclature, made explicit distinctions between specific, generic, and trivial names. The generic name was that of the genus, the first in the binomial, the trivial name was the second name in the binomial, and the specific the proper term for ...
