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 ...
The type species is P. aurelioi. Schultzsuchus [13] Gen. et comb. nov Desojo & Rauhut Triassic (Ladinian–Carnian) Pinheiros-Chiniquá Sequence of the Santa Maria Supersequence Brazil. A member of Paracrocodylomorpha, probably belonging to the group Poposauroidea. The type species is "Prestosuchus" loricatus von Huene (1938). Sutekhsuchus [14]
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 ...
In contrast to "Lazarus taxa", a living fossil in most senses is a species or lineage that has undergone exceptionally little change throughout a long fossil record, giving the impression that the extant taxon had remained identical through the entire fossil and modern period.
A member of the Lazarus family (the ones who started Lazarus department stores) vacationed in Lake Garda, Italy with his family in 1951. That child was George Rau Jr., stepson of Fred Lazarus III.
This is a list of European species extinct in the Holocene that covers extinctions from the Holocene epoch, a geologic epoch that began about 11,650 years before present (about 9700 BCE) [A] and continues to the present day. [1] This list includes the European continent and its surrounding islands.
By contrast, a Lazarus taxon is one that really is a descendant of the original taxon, and highlights transitional fossil records, which might be found later.. A zombie taxon has been considered a Lazarus taxon because it has been collected from younger strata, but it later turns out to be a fossil that was freed from the original seam and was refossilized in a sediment of a younger age.
