Eocene

The Eocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).

See Laredo Formation and Eocene

Fossil

A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

See Laredo Formation and Fossil

Fossilworks

Fossilworks is a portal which provides query, download, and analysis tools to facilitate access to the Paleobiology Database, a large relational database assembled by hundreds of paleontologists from around the world.

See Laredo Formation and Fossilworks

Geologic time scale

The geologic time scale or geological time scale (GTS) is a representation of time based on the rock record of Earth.

See Laredo Formation and Geologic time scale

Geological formation

A geological formation, or simply formation, is a body of rock having a consistent set of physical characteristics (lithology) that distinguishes it from adjacent bodies of rock, and which occupies a particular position in the layers of rock exposed in a geographical region (the stratigraphic column).

See Laredo Formation and Geological formation

Lagerstätte

A Fossil-Lagerstätte (from Lager 'storage, lair' Stätte 'place'; plural Lagerstätten) is a sedimentary deposit that exhibits extraordinary fossils with exceptional preservation—sometimes including preserved soft tissues. Laredo Formation and Lagerstätte are Lagerstätten.

See Laredo Formation and Lagerstätte

Limestone

Limestone (calcium carbonate) is a type of carbonate sedimentary rock which is the main source of the material lime.

See Laredo Formation and Limestone

List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Mexico

This is a list of stratigraphic units (groups, formations and members), containing fossils and pertaining to the North American country of Mexico. Laredo Formation and list of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Mexico are fossiliferous stratigraphic units of North America, geologic formations of Mexico and paleontology in Mexico.

See Laredo Formation and List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Mexico

List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Texas

This article contains a list of fossil-bearing stratigraphic units in the state of Texas, U.S. Laredo Formation and list of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Texas are paleontology in Texas.

See Laredo Formation and List of fossiliferous stratigraphic units in Texas

Lutetian

The Lutetian is, in the geologic timescale, a stage or age in the Eocene.

See Laredo Formation and Lutetian

Nuevo León

Nuevo León (English: New León), officially the Free and Sovereign State of Nuevo León (Spanish: Estado Libre y Soberano de Nuevo León) is a state in northeastern Mexico.

See Laredo Formation and Nuevo León

Nypa fruticans

Nypa fruticans, commonly known as the nipa palm (or simply nipa, from nipah) or mangrove palm, is a species of palm native to the coastlines and estuarine habitats of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

See Laredo Formation and Nypa fruticans

Paleontology in Texas

Paleontology in Texas refers to paleontological research occurring within or conducted by people from the U.S. state of Texas.

See Laredo Formation and Paleontology in Texas

Sandstone

Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized (0.0625 to 2 mm) silicate grains, cemented together by another mineral.

See Laredo Formation and Sandstone

Shale

Shale is a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock formed from mud that is a mix of flakes of clay minerals (hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates, e.g. kaolin, Al2Si2O5(OH)4) and tiny fragments (silt-sized particles) of other minerals, especially quartz and calcite.

See Laredo Formation and Shale

Tamaulipas

Tamaulipas, officially the Free and Sovereign State of Tamaulipas (Estado Libre y Soberano de Tamaulipas), is a state in Mexico; one of the 31 states which, along with Mexico City, comprise the 32 Federal Entities of Mexico.

See Laredo Formation and Tamaulipas

Texas

Texas (Texas or Tejas) is the most populous state in the South Central region of the United States.

See Laredo Formation and Texas

Uintan

The Uintan North American Stage on the geologic timescale is the North American faunal stage according to the North American Land Mammal Ages chronology (NALMA), typically set from 46,200,000 to 42,000,000 years BP lasting.
