Africa

Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent after Asia.

See Afrotapejara and Africa

Albian

The Albian is both an age of the geologic timescale and a stage in the stratigraphic column.

See Afrotapejara and Albian

The Cenomanian is, in the International Commission on Stratigraphy's (ICS) geological timescale, the oldest or earliest age of the Late Cretaceous Epoch or the lowest stage of the Upper Cretaceous Series.

CT scan

A computed tomography scan (CT scan; formerly called computed axial tomography scan or CAT scan) is a medical imaging technique used to obtain detailed internal images of the body.

Erfoud

Erfoud (ⴰⵔⴼⵓⴷ, Arfud; أرفود) is an oasis town in the Sahara Desert, in the Drâa-Tafilalet region, eastern Morocco.

Holotype

A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.

See Afrotapejara and Holotype

Kem Kem Group

The Kem Kem Group (commonly known as the Kem Kem beds) is a geological group in the Kem Kem region of eastern Morocco, whose strata date back to the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous.

Late Cretaceous

The Late Cretaceous (100.5–66 Ma) is the younger of two epochs into which the Cretaceous Period is divided in the geologic time scale.

See Afrotapejara and Late Cretaceous

Mandibular symphysis

In human anatomy, the facial skeleton of the skull the external surface of the mandible is marked in the median line by a faint ridge, indicating the mandibular symphysis (Latin: symphysis menti) or line of junction where the two lateral halves of the mandible typically fuse in the first year of life (6–9 months after birth).

Morocco

Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa.

Nizar Ibrahim

Pterosaur

Pterosaurs (from Greek pteron and sauros, meaning "wing lizard") are an extinct clade of flying reptiles in the order Pterosauria.

See Afrotapejara and Pterosaur

Specific name (zoology)

In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet, species epithet, or epitheton) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen).

Tapejaridae

Tapejaridae (from a Tupi word meaning "the lord of the ways") are a family of pterodactyloid pterosaurs from the Cretaceous period. Afrotapejara and Tapejaridae are Tapejaromorphs.
