Africa

Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent after Asia.

See Palmula and Africa

Asia

Asia is the largest continent in the world by both land area and population.

Cretaceous

The Cretaceous is a geological period that lasted from about 145 to 66 million years ago (Mya).

See Palmula and Cretaceous

Eukaryote

The eukaryotes constitute the domain of Eukarya or Eukaryota, organisms whose cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.

Europe

Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Extinction

Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.

See Palmula and Extinction

Foraminifera

Foraminifera (Latin for "hole bearers"; informally called "forams") are single-celled organisms, members of a phylum or class of Rhizarian protists characterized by streaming granular ectoplasm for catching food and other uses; and commonly an external shell (called a "test") of diverse forms and materials.

See Palmula and Foraminifera

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 Palmula and Genus

Jurassic

The Jurassic is a geologic period and stratigraphic system that spanned from the end of the Triassic Period million years ago (Mya) to the beginning of the Cretaceous Period, approximately Mya.

New Zealand

New Zealand (Aotearoa) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.

Nodosariacea

Nodosariacea is one of two superfamilies making up the foraminiferal order Lagenida.

Plesiosaur

The Plesiosauria (Greek: πλησίος, plesios, meaning "near to" and ''sauros'', meaning "lizard") or plesiosaurs are an order or clade of extinct Mesozoic marine reptiles, belonging to the Sauropterygia.

Polycotylidae

Polycotylidae is a family of plesiosaurs from the Cretaceous, a sister group to Leptocleididae.

Retaria

Retaria is a clade within the supergroup Rhizaria containing the Foraminifera and the Radiolaria.

Rhizaria

The Rhizaria are a diverse and species-rich supergroup of mostly unicellular eukaryotes.

SAR supergroup

SAR or Harosa is a highly diverse clade of eukaryotes, often considered a supergroup, that includes stramenopiles (heterokonts), alveolates, and rhizarians.
