Albert-Félix de Lapparent

Albert-Félix de Lapparent (1905–1975) was a French palaeontologist, and also a Sulpician priest.

See Lapparentophis and Albert-Félix de Lapparent

Cenomanian

The Cenomanian is, in the International Commission on Stratigraphy's (ICS) geological timescale, the oldest or earliest age of the Late Cretaceous Epoch or the lowest stage of the Upper Cretaceous Series.

See Lapparentophis and Cenomanian

Clade

In biological phylogenetics, a clade, also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a grouping of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree.

See Lapparentophis and Clade

Early Cretaceous

The Early Cretaceous (geochronological name) or the Lower Cretaceous (chronostratigraphic name) is the earlier or lower of the two major divisions of the Cretaceous.

See Lapparentophis and Early Cretaceous

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 Lapparentophis and Genus

Kem Kem Group

The Kem Kem Group (commonly known as the Kem Kem beds) is a geological group in the Kem Kem region of eastern Morocco, whose strata date back to the Cenomanian stage of the Late Cretaceous.

See Lapparentophis and Kem Kem Group

Late Cretaceous

The Late Cretaceous (100.5–66 Ma) is the younger of two epochs into which the Cretaceous Period is divided in the geologic time scale.

See Lapparentophis and Late Cretaceous

Maghreb

The Maghreb (lit), also known as the Arab Maghreb (اَلْمَغْرِبُ الْعَرَبِيُّ) and Northwest Africa, is the western part of the Arab world.

See Lapparentophis and Maghreb

Ophidia

Ophidia (also known as Pan-Serpentes) is a group of squamate reptiles including modern snakes and reptiles more closely related to snakes than to other living groups of lizards.

See Lapparentophis and Ophidia

Paratype

In zoology and botany, a paratype is a specimen of an organism that helps define what the scientific name of a species and other taxon actually represents, but it is not the holotype (and in botany is also neither an isotype nor a syntype).

See Lapparentophis and Paratype

Pouitella

Pouitella is an extinct genus of terrestrial ophidian known from the Cenomanian of Brézé and Lussant, France and was first described by J-C. Rage in 1988. Lapparentophis and Pouitella are ophidia.

See Lapparentophis and Pouitella

Robert Hoffstetter

Robert Julien Hoffstetter (11 June 1908 in Fargniers – 29 December 1999 in Gennevilliers) was a French taxonomist and herpetologist who was influential in categorizing reptiles.

See Lapparentophis and Robert Hoffstetter

Snake

Snakes are elongated, limbless reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Lapparentophis and Snake are ophidia.

See Lapparentophis and Snake

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).
