Lazarus taxa are observational artifacts that appear to occur either because of (local) extinction, later resupplied, or as a sampling artifact.The fossil record is inherently sporadic (only a very small fraction of organisms become fossilized, and an even smaller fraction are discovered before destruction) and contains gaps not necessarily caused by extinction, particularly when the number of ...
Restoration of the skull of the Menat specimen of Lazarussuchus in dorsal and lateral views. Lazarussuchus was small and superficially lizard like in appearance, with the total preserved body and tail length of L. inexpectatus being just over 30 centimetres (0.98 ft), and a skull length of around 4.5 centimetres (1.8 in) [1] According to Matsumoto and colleagues (2013) Lazarussuchus is ...
Calliostoma bullatum, a species of deepwater sea snail originally described from fossils in 1844 proved to be a Lazarus species when extant individuals were described in 2019. [ 32 ] Attenborough's long-beaked echidna ( Zaglossus attenboroughi ) is an example of a Lazarus species from Papua New Guinea that had last been sighted in 1962 and ...

Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million in total. Animals range in size from 8.5 millionths of a metre to 33.6 metres (110 ft) long and have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs .
Dawson et al. described the Diatomyidae as a Lazarus taxon due to this gap. [5] The only other mammal Lazarus taxon with a comparable time gap between it and its most recently known fossil relative is the monito del monte, which is part of a marsupial family (Microbiotheriidae) also most recently known
