Alligatoridae

The family Alligatoridae of crocodylians includes alligators, caimans and their extinct relatives.

Colombia

Colombia, officially the Republic of Colombia, is a country primarily located in South America with insular regions in North America.

See Balanerodus and Colombia

Crocodilia

Crocodilia (or Crocodylia, both) is an order of semiaquatic, predatory reptiles known as crocodilians.

See Balanerodus and Crocodilia

Extinction

Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.

See Balanerodus and Extinction

Fossil

A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

See Balanerodus and Fossil

Fossilworks

Fossilworks is a portal which provides query, download, and analysis tools to facilitate access to the Paleobiology Database, a large relational database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists from around the world.

Friasian

The Friasian age is a period of geologic time (16.3–15.5 Ma) within the Early Miocene epoch of the Neogene, used more specifically within the SALMA classification of South America.

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Balanerodus and Genus

Honda Group, Colombia

The Honda Group (Grupo Honda, Tsh, Ngh) is a geological group of the Upper and Middle Magdalena Basins and the adjacent Central and Eastern Ranges of the Colombian Andes. Balanerodus and Honda Group, Colombia are Laventan and Neogene Colombia.

Langstonia

Langstonia (meaning " of Langston", in honor of paleontologist Wann Langston, Jr.) is an extinct genus of notosuchian crocodylomorph of the family Sebecidae. Balanerodus and Langstonia are fossil taxa described in 1965, fossils of Colombia, Laventan, Miocene crocodylomorphs, Miocene reptiles of South America, Neogene Colombia and prehistoric pseudosuchian genera.

Laventan

The Laventan (Laventense) age is a period of geologic time (13.8 to 11.8 Ma) within the Middle Miocene epoch of the Neogene, used more specifically within the SALMA classification in South America. Balanerodus and Laventan are Neogene Colombia.

Miocene

The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma).

Monotypic taxon

In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon.

See Balanerodus and Monotypic taxon

Mourasuchus

Mourasuchus is an extinct genus of giant, aberrant caiman from the Miocene of South America. Balanerodus and Mourasuchus are Alligatoridae, Colloncuran, fossils of Colombia, fossils of Peru, Friasian, Laventan, Miocene crocodylomorphs, Miocene reptiles of South America, Neogene Colombia, Neogene Peru and prehistoric pseudosuchian genera.

Peruvian Amazonia

Peruvian Amazonia (Amazonía del Perú), informally known locally as the Peruvian jungle (selva peruana) or just the jungle (la selva), is the area of the Amazon rainforest included within the country of Peru, from east of the Andes to the borders with Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil and Bolivia.

Purussaurus

Purussaurus is an extinct genus of giant caiman that lived in South America during the Miocene epoch, from the Friasian to the Huayquerian in the SALMA classification. Balanerodus and Purussaurus are Alligatoridae, Colloncuran, fossils of Colombia, fossils of Peru, Friasian, Laventan, Miocene crocodylomorphs, Miocene reptiles of South America, Neogene Colombia, Neogene Peru and prehistoric pseudosuchian genera.

Robert L. Carroll

Robert "Bob" Lynn Carroll (May 5, 1938 – April 7, 2020) was an American–Canadian vertebrate paleontologist who specialised in Paleozoic and Mesozoic amphibians and reptiles.

Sebecidae

Sebecidae is an extinct family of prehistoric terrestrial sebecosuchian crocodylomorphs, known from the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic of Europe and South America. Balanerodus and Sebecidae are prehistoric archosaur stubs.

South American land mammal age

The South American land mammal ages (SALMA) establish a geologic timescale for prehistoric South American fauna beginning 64.5 Ma during the Paleocene and continuing through to the Late Pleistocene (0.011 Ma).

Synonym (taxonomy)

The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently.

Vaquita

The vaquita (Phocoena sinus) is a species of porpoise endemic to the northern end of the Gulf of California in Baja California, Mexico.
