Campanian

The Campanian is the fifth of six ages of the Late Cretaceous Epoch on the geologic timescale of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS).

See Uhangri Formation and Campanian

Caririchnium

Caririchnium is an ichnogenus of ornithopod dinosaur footprint, belonging to either derived iguanodonts or basal hadrosauroids.

See Uhangri Formation and Caririchnium

Dinosaur

Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria.

See Uhangri Formation and Dinosaur

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 Uhangri Formation and Fossilworks

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 Uhangri Formation and Geological formation

Haenam County

Haenam (Haenam-gun) is a county in South Jeolla Province, South Korea.

See Uhangri Formation and Haenam County

Haenamichnus

Haenamichnus is an ichnogenus that has been attributed to azhdarchid pterosaurs.

See Uhangri Formation and Haenamichnus

List of fossil sites

This list of fossil sites is a worldwide list of localities known well for the presence of fossils.

See Uhangri Formation and List of fossil sites

Lithographus

Lithographus (‘rock writing’) is a Carboniferous to Cretaceous trace fossil that has been found in North America, South America, Europe, and east Asia.

See Uhangri Formation and Lithographus

Pteraichnus

Pteraichnus is an ichnogenus that has been attributed to pterosaurs.

See Uhangri Formation and Pteraichnus

Pterosaur

Pterosaurs (from Greek pteron and sauros, meaning "wing lizard") are an extinct clade of flying reptiles in the order Pterosauria.

See Uhangri Formation and Pterosaur

Pterygota

The Pterygota (winged) are a subclass of insects that includes all winged insects and the orders that are secondarily wingless (that is, insect groups whose ancestors once had wings but that have lost them as a result of subsequent evolution).

See Uhangri Formation and Pterygota

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 Uhangri 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 Uhangri Formation and Shale

South Jeolla Province

South Jeolla Province (Jeollanam-do), also known as Jeonnam, is a province in the Honam region, South Korea, and the southernmost province in mainland Korea.

See Uhangri Formation and South Jeolla Province

South Korea

South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea (ROK), is a country in East Asia.

See Uhangri Formation and South Korea

Trace fossil

A trace fossil, also known as an ichnofossil (from ἴχνος ikhnos "trace, track"), is a fossil record of biological activity by lifeforms but not the preserved remains of the organism itself.
