Amniote

Amniotes are tetrapod vertebrate animals belonging to the clade Amniota, a large group that comprises the vast majority of living terrestrial and semiaquatic vertebrates.

See Hylonomus and Amniote

Archaeothyris

Archaeothyris is an extinct genus of ophiacodontid synapsid that lived during the Late Carboniferous and is known from Nova Scotia. Hylonomus and Archaeothyris are Paleozoic life of Nova Scotia and Transitional fossils.

See Hylonomus and Archaeothyris

Bashkirian

The Bashkirian is in the International Commission on Stratigraphy geologic timescale the lowest stage or oldest age of the Pennsylvanian.

See Hylonomus and Bashkirian

Captorhinidae

Captorhinidae is an extinct family of tetrapods, typically considered primitive reptiles, known from the late Carboniferous to the Late Permian.

See Hylonomus and Captorhinidae

Charles Lyell

Sir Charles Lyell, 1st Baronet, (14 November 1797 – 22 February 1875) was a Scottish geologist who demonstrated the power of known natural causes in explaining the earth's history.

See Hylonomus and Charles Lyell

Crown group

In phylogenetics, the crown group or crown assemblage is a collection of species composed of the living representatives of the collection, the most recent common ancestor of the collection, and all descendants of the most recent common ancestor.

See Hylonomus and Crown group

Diapsid

Diapsids ("two arches") are a clade of sauropsids, distinguished from more primitive eureptiles by the presence of two holes, known as temporal fenestrae, in each side of their skulls.

See Hylonomus and Diapsid

Eureptilia

Eureptilia ("true reptiles") is one of the two major subgroups of the clade Sauropsida, the other one being Parareptilia.

See Hylonomus and Eureptilia

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 Hylonomus and Genus

Insect

Insects (from Latin insectum) are hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta.

See Hylonomus and Insect

Joggins

Joggins is a rural community located in western Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada.

See Hylonomus and Joggins

Joggins Formation

The Joggins Formation is a geologic formation in Nova Scotia.

See Hylonomus and Joggins Formation

John William Dawson

Sir John William Dawson (1820–1899) was a Canadian geologist and university administrator.

Journal of Molecular Evolution

The Journal of Molecular Evolution is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers molecular evolution.

See Hylonomus and Journal of Molecular Evolution

Journal of the Geological Society

The Journal of the Geological Society is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Geological Society of London.

Lizard

Lizard is the common name used for all squamate reptiles other than snakes (and to a lesser extent amphisbaenians), encompassing over 7,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains.

See Hylonomus and Lizard

Lycopodiopsida

Lycopodiopsida is a class of vascular plants also known as lycopods or lycophytes.

See Hylonomus and Lycopodiopsida

Millipede

Millipedes (originating from the Latin mille, "thousand", and pes, "foot") are a group of arthropods that are characterised by having two pairs of jointed legs on most body segments; they are known scientifically as the class Diplopoda, the name derived from this feature.

See Hylonomus and Millipede

New Brunswick

New Brunswick (Nouveau-Brunswick) is one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada.

See Hylonomus and New Brunswick

Parareptilia

Parareptilia ("near-reptiles") is an extinct subclass or clade of basal sauropsids/reptiles, typically considered the sister taxon to Eureptilia (the group that likely contains all living reptiles and birds).

See Hylonomus and Parareptilia

Pelycosaur

Pelycosaur is an older term for basal or primitive Late Paleozoic synapsids, excluding the therapsids and their descendants.

See Hylonomus and Pelycosaur

Pennsylvanian (geology)

The Pennsylvanian (also known as Upper Carboniferous or Late Carboniferous) is, on the ICS geologic timescale, the younger of two subperiods of the Carboniferous Period (or the upper of two subsystems of the Carboniferous System).

See Hylonomus and Pennsylvanian (geology)

Petrolacosaurus

Petrolacosaurus ("rock lake lizard") is an extinct genus of diapsid reptile from the late Carboniferous period. Hylonomus and Petrolacosaurus are Carboniferous reptiles of North America and Prehistoric reptile genera.

See Hylonomus and Petrolacosaurus

Primitive (phylogenetics)

In phylogenetics, a primitive (or ancestral) character, trait, or feature of a lineage or taxon is one that is inherited from the common ancestor of a clade (or clade group) and has undergone little change since.

See Hylonomus and Primitive (phylogenetics)

Protorothyrididae

Protorothyrididae is an extinct family of small, lizard-like reptiles belonging to Eureptilia. Hylonomus and Protorothyrididae are Protorothyridids.

See Hylonomus and Protorothyrididae

Reptile

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

See Hylonomus and Reptile
