Bucephalandra is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. There are 30 species of Bucephalandra which have been discovered in Borneo and have been formally described by S.Y. Wong and P.C. Boyce .
The results of pioneering efforts to age dinosaur fossils using growth ring counts suggest that the longevity of the basal ceratopsian Psittacosaurus mongoliensis was 10 or 11 years. [5] The prosauropod Massospondylus carinatus 15 years of age, [ 6 ] the sauropods Lapparentosaurus and Narindasaurus 43 years, [ 7 ] the coelophysoid Megapnosaurus ...
Bucephalandra chimaera is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, native to Kalimantan on Borneo. [1] It is an obligate rheophyte , found on granite boulders alongside small streams. [ 2 ]
Giraffatitan (name meaning "titanic giraffe") is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived during the late Jurassic Period (Kimmeridgian–Tithonian stages) in what is now Lindi Region, Tanzania. Only one species is known, G. brancai , named in honor of German paleontologist Wilhelm von Branca , who was a driving force behind the expedition that ...
SimEarth: The Living Planet is a life simulation game, the second designed by Will Wright, published in 1990 by Maxis. In SimEarth , the player controls the development of a planet . English scientist James Lovelock served as an advisor and his Gaia hypothesis of planet evolution was incorporated into the game.
As for all dwarf species, their reduced growth rate led to their small size. [ 32 ] [ 51 ] Another taxon of tiny sauropods, the saltasaurid titanosaur Ibirania , 5.7 m (18.7 ft) long, lived a non-insular context in Upper Creaceous Brazil, and is an example of nanism resultant from other ecological pressures.
Dinosaur classification began in 1842 when Sir Richard Owen placed Iguanodon, Megalosaurus, and Hylaeosaurus in "a distinct tribe or suborder of Saurian Reptiles, for which I would propose the name of Dinosauria." [1] In 1887 and 1888 Harry Seeley divided dinosaurs into the two orders Saurischia and Ornithischia, based on their hip structure. [2]
Fasolasuchus is an extinct genus of loricatan. Fossils have been found in the Los Colorados Formation of the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin in northwestern Argentina that date back to the Norian stage of the Late Triassic, making it one of the last "rauisuchians" to have existed before the order became extinct at the end of the Triassic.
