Ammonoidea
Ammonoids are extinct spiral shelled cephalopods comprising the subclass Ammonoidea.
Baja California
Baja California ('Lower California'), officially Estado Libre y Soberano de Baja California (Free and Sovereign State of Baja California), is a state in Mexico.
See Condonella and Baja California

Cornales
The Cornales are an order of flowering plants, early diverging among the asterids, containing about 600 species.
Extinction
Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.
Gastropod shell
The gastropod shell is part of the body of a gastropod or snail, a kind of mollusc.
See Condonella and Gastropod shell
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.
Inoceramidae
The Inoceramidae are an extinct family of bivalves ("clams") in the Class Mollusca.
See Condonella and Inoceramidae
Land snail
A land snail is any of the numerous species of snail that live on land, as opposed to the sea snails and freshwater snails.
Northern California
Northern California (commonly shortened to NorCal) is a geographic and cultural region that generally comprises the northern portion of the U.S. state of California, spanning the northernmost 48 of the state's 58 counties.

Planorbis
Planorbis is a genus of air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod molluscs in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails, or planorbids. Condonella and planorbis are Cretaceous gastropods.
Pulmonata
Pulmonata or pulmonates is an informal group (previously an order, and before that, a subclass) of snails and slugs characterized by the ability to breathe air, by virtue of having a pallial lung instead of a gill, or gills.
Sucia Island
Sucia Island is located north of Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands, San Juan County, Washington, United States.
See Condonella and Sucia Island
Suciacarpa
Suciacarpa is an extinct genus of asterid flowering plants in the order Cornales.
Theropoda
Theropoda (from ancient Greek whose members are known as theropods, is a dinosaur clade that is characterized by hollow bones and three toes and claws on each limb. Theropods are generally classed as a group of saurischian dinosaurs. They were ancestrally carnivorous, although a number of theropod groups evolved to become herbivores and omnivores.
University of California
The University of California (UC) is a public land-grant research university system in the U.S. state of California.
See Condonella and University of California
University of Washington
The University of Washington (UW and informally U-Dub or U Dub) is a public research university in Seattle, Washington, United States.

Urocoptidae
Urocoptidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Urocoptoidea.
See Condonella and Urocoptidae
Washington (state)
Washington, officially the State of Washington, is the westernmost state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.

William Healey Dall
William Healey Dall (August 21, 1845 – March 27, 1927) was an American naturalist, a prominent malacologist, and one of the earliest scientific explorers of interior Alaska.
