Archosaur

Archosauria or archosaurs is a clade of diapsid sauropsid tetrapods, with birds and crocodilians being the only extant representatives.

Artinskian

In the geologic timescale, the Artinskian is an age or stage of the Permian.

Brasileosaurus

Brasileosaurus (meaning "Brazil lizard") is a genus of notosuchid notosuchian from the Late Cretaceous Adamantina Formation of Brazil. Brazilosaurus and Brasileosaurus are Fossils of Brazil.

Brazil

Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the largest and easternmost country in South America and Latin America.

Cisuralian

The Cisuralian is the first series/epoch of the Permian.

See Brazilosaurus and Cisuralian

Extinction

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

See Brazilosaurus and Extinction

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 Brazilosaurus and Genus

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 Brazilosaurus and Holotype

Irati Formation

Irati Formation is the name of a geological formation of the Paraná Basin in Brazil. Brazilosaurus and Irati Formation are Paraná Basin and Permian Brazil.

Mesosaur

Mesosaurs ("middle lizards") were a group of small aquatic reptiles that lived during the early Permian period (Cisuralian), roughly 299 to 270 million years ago. Brazilosaurus and Mesosaur are Prehistoric marine reptiles.

Paraná Basin

The Paraná Basin (Bacia do Paraná, Cuenca del Paraná) is a large cratonic sedimentary basin situated in the central-eastern part of South America.

See Brazilosaurus and Paraná Basin

Permian

The Permian is a geologic period and stratigraphic system which spans 47 million years from the end of the Carboniferous Period million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Triassic Period 251.902 Mya.

See Brazilosaurus and Permian

São Paulo (state)

São Paulo is one of the 26 states of the Federative Republic of Brazil and is named after Saint Paul of Tarsus.

Skeleton

A skeleton is the structural frame that supports the body of most animals.

See Brazilosaurus and Skeleton

Tatuí

Tatuí is a city located in São Paulo state, Brazil.

Type species

In zoological nomenclature, a type species (species typica) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen (or specimens).
