Binomial nomenclature

In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages.

See Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Binomial nomenclature

Deseadan

The Deseadan (Deseadense) age is a period of geologic time (29.0–21.0 Ma) within the Oligocene epoch of the Paleogene to the Early Miocene epoch of the Neogene, used more specifically within the SALMA classification of South America.

See Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Deseadan

Digital object identifier

A digital object identifier (DOI) is a persistent identifier or handle used to uniquely identify various objects, standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

See Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Digital object identifier

Extinction

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

See Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Extinction

Femur

The femur (femurs or femora), or thigh bone is the only bone in the thigh.

Florentino Ameghino

Florentino Ameghino (born Giovanni Battista Fiorino Giuseppe Ameghino; September 19, 1853 – August 6, 1911) was an Argentine naturalist, paleontologist, anthropologist and zoologist, whose fossil discoveries on the Argentine Pampas, especially on Patagonia, rank with those made in the western United States during the late 19th century.

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.

Friasian

The Friasian age is a period of geologic time (16.3–15.5 Ma) within the Early Miocene epoch of the Neogene, used more specifically within the SALMA classification of South America.

See Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Friasian

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.

George Gaylord Simpson

George Gaylord Simpson (June 16, 1902 – October 6, 1984) was an American paleontologist.

Holotype

A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.

See Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Holotype

Humerus

The humerus (humeri) is a long bone in the arm that runs from the shoulder to the elbow.

See Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Humerus

International Code of Zoological Nomenclature

The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) is a widely accepted convention in zoology that rules the formal scientific naming of organisms treated as animals.

King penguin

The king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) is the second largest species of penguin, smaller, but somewhat similar in appearance to the emperor penguin.

Miocene

The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma).

See Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Miocene

Paraptenodytes

Paraptenodytes is an extinct genus of penguins which contains two or three species sized between a Magellanic penguin and an emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri). Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Paraptenodytes are Colhuehuapian, extinct penguins, fossils of Argentina, Friasian, Miocene birds of South America, Neogene Argentina and Santacrucian.

See Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Paraptenodytes

Paraptenodytes robustus

Paraptenodytes robustus is a species of the extinct penguin genus Paraptenodytes, which is known from fossils. Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Paraptenodytes robustus are Colhuehuapian, extinct penguins, fossils of Argentina, Miocene birds of South America, Neogene Argentina, Paraptenodytes and Santacrucian.

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 Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Species

Synonym (taxonomy)

The Botanical and Zoological Codes of nomenclature treat the concept of synonymy differently.

See Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Synonym (taxonomy)

The tarsometatarsus is a bone that is only found in the lower leg of birds and some non-avian dinosaurs.

See Paraptenodytes brodkorbi and Tarsometatarsus

Taxon

In biology, a taxon (back-formation from taxonomy;: taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit.
