Sciaenidae
Sciaenidae is a family (biology), family of ray-finned fishes belonging to the Order (biology), order Acanthuriformes. They are commonly called drums or croakers in reference to the repetitive throbbing or drumming sounds they make. The family consists of about 293 to 298 species in about 66 or 67 genera. Taxonomy Sciaenidae was first proposed as a family in 1829 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the family in the suborder Sciaenoidei, alongside the rover family Emmelichthyidae, in the order Acanthuriformes. Other authorities classify the Sciaenidae and the Emmelichthyidae as ''incertae sedis'' within the series Eupercaria. The ''Catalog of Fishes'' retains this family within the Acanthuriformes but does not recognise the suborder Sciaenoidei. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'', ''FishBase, Fishbase'' and ''Catalog of Fishes'' do not recognise Subfamily, subfamilies within the Sciaenidae but many workers on these ...

Sciaenoidei
Sciaenoidei is a suborder of ray-finned fishes belonging to the Order (biology), order Acanthuriformes. Taxonomy The suborder was first proposed in 1828 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the suborder in the order Acanthuriformes. Other authorities classify the Sciaenidae and the Emmelichthyidae as ''incertae sedis'' within the series Eupercaria.

Acanthuriformes
Acanthuriformes is a large, diverse order of mostly marine ray-finned fishes, part of the Percomorpha clade. In the past, members of this clade were placed in the suborders Acanthuroidea and Percoidea of the order Perciformes, but this treatment is now considered paraphyletic. This order contains many of the iconic tropical reef fish groups, such as surgeonfish, marine angelfish, butterflyfish, rabbitfish, grunts, and snappers. It also contains widespread, economically important food and sport fishes, such as drums, temperate basses, and porgies. The only pelagic member of the group is the louvar. Classification The following classification is based on Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes (2025): * Order Acanthuriformes ** Family Gerreidae Bleeker, 1859 (mojarras) ** Family Sillaginidae Richardson, 1846 (sillagos) ** Family Moronidae Jordan & Evermann, 1896 (temperate basses) ** Family Drepaneidae Gill, 1872 (sicklefishes) ** Family Ephippidae Bleeker, 1859 (spadefishes ...

Eupercaria
Percomorpha () is an extremely large and diverse clade of ray-finned fish. With more than 17,000 known species (including tuna, seahorses, gobies, cichlids, flatfish, wrasse, perches, anglerfish, and pufferfish) known from both marine and freshwater ecosystems, it is the most speciose clade of extant vertebrates. Evolution Percomorpha are the most diverse group of teleost fish today. Teleosts, and percomorphs in particular, thrived during the Cenozoic era. Fossil evidence shows that there was a major increase in size and abundance of teleosts immediately after the mass extinction event at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary ago. The oldest known percomorph fossils are of the early tetraodontiforms '' Protriacanthus'' and Cretatriacanthidae from the Santonian to Campanian of Italy and Slovenia. A higher diversity of early percomorphs is also known from the Campanian of Nardò, Italy, and these also show some level of diversification into modern orders, with representatives ...

Emmelichthyidae
Emmelichthyidae is a small Family (biology), family of small to medium-sized Marine (ocean), marine ray-finned fishes known commonly as redbaits, rovers, bonnetmouths or rubyfishes. The Emmelichthyidae are poorly known even among researchers who work in fish taxonomy, and as a result much is unknown about species in the family, such as how they feed, breed, and otherwise behave. The most recently discovered species of the family, the papillated redbait (''Emmelichthys papillatus''). was not identified and described until 2024. Taxonomy Emmelichthyidae was first proposed as a taxonomic grouping in 1867 by the Cuban naturalist Felipe Poey. The fifth edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the family in the suborder Sciaenoidei, alongside the drum family Sciaenidae, in the order Acanthuriformes. Other authorities classify the Emmelichthyidae and the Sciaenidae as ''incertae sedis'' within the series Eupercaria. The ''Catalog of Fishes'' retains this family within the Acanthuri ...

Atlantic Croaker
The Atlantic croaker (''Micropogonias undulatus'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sciaenidae and is closely related to the black drum ('' Pogonias cromis''), the silver perch ('' Bairdiella chrysoura''), the spot croaker ('' Leiostomus xanthurus''), the red drum ('' Sciaenops ocellatus''), the spotted seatrout ('' Cynoscion nebulosus''), and the weakfish ('' Cynoscion regalis''). It is commonly found in sounds and estuaries from Massachusetts to the Gulf of Mexico. Description The name croaker is descriptive of the noise the fish makes by vibrating strong muscles against its swim bladder, which acts as a resonating chamber much like a ball. The Atlantic croaker is the loudest of the drum family. It is also referred to as a hardhead, with smaller ones called pin heads. During spawning season (August to October), croakers turn a deep golden color, from this comes the name golden croaker. Beginning in August, tiny young enter the Chesapeake Bay and ...

Late Paleocene
The Thanetian is, in the International Commission on Stratigraphy, ICS Geologic timescale, the latest age (geology), age or uppermost stage (stratigraphy), stratigraphic stage of the Paleocene epoch (geology), Epoch or series (stratigraphy), Series. It spans the time between . The Thanetian is preceded by the Selandian Age and followed by the Ypresian Age (part of the Eocene). The Thanetian is sometimes referred to as the Late Paleocene. Stratigraphic definition The Thanetian was established by Switzerland, Swiss geologist Eugène Renevier in 1873. The Thanetian is named after the Thanet Formation, the oldest Cenozoic deposit of the London Basin, which was first identified in the area of Kent (southern England) known as the Isle of Thanet. The base of the Thanetian Stage is laid at the base of magnetic chronozone C26n. The references profile (Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point) is in the Zumaia section (43° 18'N, 2° 16'W) at the beach of Itzurun, Pais Vasco, northern ...

Jean Bachelot La Pylaie
Jean Marie Auguste Bachelot de La Pylaie (May 25, 1786, in Fougères, Ille-et-Vilaine – October 12, 1856) was a French botanist, explorer and archaeologist. He studied at Laval, and then in Paris at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, where he was a pupil of Georges Cuvier (1769–1832) and Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville (1777–1850). He was a prolific explorer, mainly in France, but also in Africa and America, in particular the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. In 1816, sailing on the frigate ''Cybele'', he surveyed St. George's Bay during a three months tour of Newfoundland and Saint Pierre and Miquelon. He was the first known collector of local species in Saint Pierre. In December 1825, he began surveying the French islands of Hoëdic and Houat, to pursue his passion of collecting algae. In January 1826, instead of returning to the continent as he had originally planned, he stayed on the islands, having become fond of their inhabitants, and began to ...
