American alligator

The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), sometimes referred to as a gator or common alligator, is a large crocodilian reptile native to the Southeastern United States and a small section of northeastern Mexico.

Animal

Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia.

See Narynsuchus and Animal

Balabansai Formation

The Balabansai Formation (sometimes transcribed Balabansay, also known as Balabansai Svita) is a geological formation in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan whose strata date back to the Bathonian and Callovian stages of the Middle Jurassic.

See Narynsuchus and Balabansai Formation

Callovian

In the geologic timescale, the Callovian is an age and stage in the Middle Jurassic, lasting between 165.3 ± 1.1 Ma (million years ago) and 161.5 ± 1.0 Ma.

See Narynsuchus and Callovian

Chordate

A chordate is a deuterostomic animal belonging to the phylum Chordata. All chordates possess, at some point during their larval or adult stages, five distinctive physical characteristics (synapomorphies) that distinguish them from other taxa.

See Narynsuchus and Chordate

Crocodilia

Crocodilia (or Crocodylia, both) is an order of semiaquatic, predatory reptiles known as crocodilians.

See Narynsuchus and Crocodilia

Crocodyliformes

Crocodyliformes is a clade of crurotarsan archosaurs, the group often traditionally referred to as "crocodilians".

See Narynsuchus and Crocodyliformes

Crocodylomorpha

Crocodylomorpha is a group of pseudosuchian archosaurs that includes the crocodilians and their extinct relatives.

See Narynsuchus and Crocodylomorpha

Fergana Valley

The Fergana Valley in Central Asia lies mainly in eastern Uzbekistan, but also extends into southern Kyrgyzstan and northern Tajikistan.

See Narynsuchus and Fergana Valley

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 Narynsuchus and Genus

Goniopholididae

Goniopholididae is an extinct family of moderate-sized semi-aquatic neosuchian crocodyliformes. Narynsuchus and Goniopholididae are middle Jurassic crocodylomorphs.

See Narynsuchus and Goniopholididae

Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan, officially the Kyrgyz Republic, is a landlocked country in Central Asia, lying in the Tian Shan and Pamir mountain ranges.

See Narynsuchus and Kyrgyzstan

Lens (geology)

In geology, a lens or lentil is a body of ore or rock that is thick in the middle and thin at the edges, resembling a convex lens in cross-section.

See Narynsuchus and Lens (geology)

Middle Jurassic

The Middle Jurassic is the second epoch of the Jurassic Period.

See Narynsuchus and Middle Jurassic

Neosuchia

Neosuchia is a clade within Mesoeucrocodylia that includes all modern extant crocodilians and their closest fossil relatives. Narynsuchus and Neosuchia are neosuchians.

See Narynsuchus and Neosuchia

Nile crocodile

The Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) is a large crocodilian native to freshwater habitats in Africa, where it is present in 26 countries.

See Narynsuchus and Nile crocodile

Nomen nudum

In taxonomy, a nomen nudum ('naked name'; plural nomina nuda) is a designation which looks exactly like a scientific name of an organism, and may have originally been intended to be one, but it has not been published with an adequate description. Narynsuchus and nomen nudum are nomina nuda.

See Narynsuchus and Nomen nudum

Peipehsuchus

Peipehsuchus is an extinct genus of metriorhynchoid crocodyliform from the Early Jurassic (Toarcian). Narynsuchus and Peipehsuchus are Prehistoric archosaur stubs.

See Narynsuchus and Peipehsuchus

Reptile

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

See Narynsuchus and Reptile

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 Narynsuchus and Species

Sunosuchus

Sunosuchus is an extinct genus of goniopholidid mesoeucrocodylian. Narynsuchus and Sunosuchus are middle Jurassic crocodylomorphs.

See Narynsuchus and Sunosuchus

Tibia

The tibia (tibiae or tibias), also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger, stronger, and anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula, behind and to the outside of the tibia); it connects the knee with the ankle.

See Narynsuchus and Tibia

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 Narynsuchus and Type species
