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.
Denmark
Denmark (Danmark) is a Nordic country in the south-central portion of Northern Europe.
England
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.
Eocene
The Eocene is a geological epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma).
France
France, officially the French Republic, is a country located primarily in Western Europe.
Khouribga
Khouribga (khurībka) is the capital of Khouribga Province in the Béni Mellal-Khénifra region, Morocco.
Maastrichtian
The Maastrichtian is, in the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) geologic timescale, the latest age (uppermost stage) of the Late Cretaceous Epoch or Upper Cretaceous Series, the Cretaceous Period or System, and of the Mesozoic Era or Erathem.
See Palaeophis and Maastrichtian
Mali
Mali, officially the Republic of Mali, is a landlocked country in West Africa.
Marine biology
Marine biology is the scientific study of the biology of marine life, organisms that inhabit the sea.
See Palaeophis and Marine biology
Morocco
Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa.
Mosasaur
Mosasaurs (from Latin Mosa meaning the 'Meuse', and Greek σαύρος sauros meaning 'lizard') are an extinct group of large aquatic reptiles within the family Mosasauridae that lived during the Late Cretaceous.
Palaeophiidae
Palaeophiidae is an extinct family of marine snake within the infraorder Alethinophidia. Palaeophis and Palaeophiidae are Prehistoric reptile stubs and snake stubs.
See Palaeophis and Palaeophiidae
Priabonian
The Priabonian is, in the ICS's geologic timescale, the latest age or the upper stage of the Eocene Epoch or Series.
Richard Owen
Sir Richard Owen (20 July 1804 – 18 December 1892) was an English biologist, comparative anatomist and palaeontologist.

Snake
Snakes are elongated, limbless reptiles of the suborder Serpentes.
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.
Type genus
In biological taxonomy, the type genus is the genus which defines a biological family and the root of the family name.
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 Palaeophis and Type species
Ypresian
In the geologic timescale the Ypresian is the oldest age or lowest stratigraphic stage of the Eocene.
