Archosauriformes

Archosauriformes (Greek for 'ruling lizards', and Latin for 'form') is a clade of diapsid reptiles encompassing archosaurs and some of their close relatives.

See Garjainia and Archosauriformes

Cladogram

A cladogram (from Greek clados "branch" and gramma "character") is a diagram used in cladistics to show relations among organisms.

See Garjainia and Cladogram

Cynognathus Assemblage Zone

The Cynognathus Assemblage Zone is a tetrapod biozone utilized in the Karoo Basin of South Africa.

See Garjainia and Cynognathus Assemblage Zone

Early Triassic

The Early Triassic is the first of three epochs of the Triassic Period of the geologic timescale.

See Garjainia and Early Triassic

Erythrosuchidae

Erythrosuchidae (meaning "red crocodiles" in Greek) are a family of large basal archosauriform carnivores that lived from the later Early Triassic (Olenekian) to the early Middle Triassic (Anisian). Garjainia and Erythrosuchidae are erythrosuchids.

See Garjainia and Erythrosuchidae

Erythrosuchus

Erythrosuchus (from ἐρυθρός, 'red' and σοῦχος, 'crocodile') is an extinct genus of archosauriform reptiles from the early Triassic of South Africa. Garjainia and Erythrosuchus are early Triassic reptiles of Africa, erythrosuchids and Prehistoric reptile genera.

See Garjainia and Erythrosuchus

Extinction

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

See Garjainia and Extinction

Fugusuchus

Fugusuchus is an extinct genus of archosauriform, probably the basal-most member of the family Erythrosuchidae. Garjainia and Fugusuchus are erythrosuchids and Prehistoric reptile genera.

See Garjainia and Fugusuchus

Garjainia

Garjainia is an extinct genus of erythrosuchid archosauriform reptile from the Olenekian of Russia and South Africa. Garjainia and Garjainia are early Triassic reptiles of Africa, early Triassic reptiles of Europe, erythrosuchids, Prehistoric reptile genera and Prehistoric reptile stubs.

See Garjainia and Garjainia

Olenekian

In the geologic timescale, the Olenekian is an age in the Early Triassic epoch; in chronostratigraphy, it is a stage in the Lower Triassic series.

See Garjainia and Olenekian

Paraphyly

Paraphyly is a taxonomic term describing a grouping that consists of the grouping's last common ancestor and some but not all of its descendant lineages.

See Garjainia and Paraphyly

Proterosuchus

Proterosuchus is an extinct genus of archosauriform reptiles that lived during the Early Triassic. Garjainia and Proterosuchus are early Triassic reptiles of Africa and Prehistoric reptile genera.

See Garjainia and Proterosuchus

Reptile

Reptiles, as commonly defined, are a group of tetrapods with usually an ectothermic ('cold-blooded') metabolism and amniotic development.

See Garjainia and Reptile

Russia

Russia, or the Russian Federation, is a country spanning Eastern Europe and North Asia.

See Garjainia and Russia

Sexual dimorphism

Sexual dimorphism is the condition where sexes of the same species exhibit different morphological characteristics, particularly characteristics not directly involved in reproduction.

See Garjainia and Sexual dimorphism

Shansisuchus

Shansisuchus (meaning "Shanxi Province crocodile") is an extinct genus of archosauriform reptile belonging to the family Erythrosuchidae that lived during the Middle Triassic in what is now China. Garjainia and Shansisuchus are erythrosuchids and Prehistoric reptile genera.

See Garjainia and Shansisuchus

South Africa

South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa (RSA), is the southernmost country in Africa.

See Garjainia and South Africa

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Garjainia and Species

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).

See Garjainia and Type species

Yarenskian Gorizont

The Yarenskian Gorizont ("Yarenskian Horizon") is a major biostratigraphic unit in Russia corresponding to Upper Olenekian-age terrestrial sediments.

See Garjainia and Yarenskian Gorizont
