Brazil

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

See Hoazinavis and Brazil

Chattian

The Chattian is, in the geologic timescale, the younger of two ages or upper of two stages of the Oligocene Epoch/Series.

See Hoazinavis and Chattian

Deseadan

The Deseadan (Deseadense) age is a period of geologic time (29.0–21.0 Ma) within the Oligocene epoch of the Paleogene to the Early Miocene epoch of the Neogene, used more specifically within the SALMA classification of South America.

See Hoazinavis and Deseadan

Early Miocene

The Early Miocene (also known as Lower Miocene) is a sub-epoch of the Miocene Epoch made up of two stages: the Aquitanian and Burdigalian stages.

See Hoazinavis and Early Miocene

Extinction

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

See Hoazinavis 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 Hoazinavis and Genus

Gerald Mayr

Gerald Mayr is a German palaeontologist who is Curator of Ornithology at the Senckenberg Research Institute in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse.

Herculano Alvarenga

Herculano Marcos Ferraz de Alvarenga (born 7 November 1947) is a Brazilian ornithologist, paleontologist and physician, founder of the Taubaté Natural History Museum.

Hoatzin

The hoatzin or hoactzin (Opisthocomus hoazin) is a species of tropical bird found in swamps, riparian forests, and mangroves of the Amazon and the Orinoco basins in South America. Hoazinavis and hoatzin are Opisthocomiformes.

See Hoazinavis and Hoatzin

Million years ago

Million years ago, abbreviated as Mya, Myr (megayear) or Ma (megaannum), is a unit of time equal to (i.e. years), or approximately 31.6 teraseconds.

See Hoazinavis and Million years ago

Miocene

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

See Hoazinavis and Miocene

Oligocene

The Oligocene is a geologic epoch of the Paleogene Period and extends from about 33.9 million to 23 million years before the present (to). As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the epoch are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the epoch are slightly uncertain.

See Hoazinavis and Oligocene

São Paulo

São Paulo is the most populous city in Brazil and the capital of the state of São Paulo.

See Hoazinavis and São Paulo

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).
